About this wine
Cascina La Briacca's Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is a vibrant, earlier-drinking expression of the estate's Nebbiolo grown in Castiglione Falletto. Vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks, it offers a delicate bouquet of cherry, raspberry, dried rose, and violet, with fine, persistent tannins — a more approachable counterpart to the estate's Barolo bottlings.
A perfect introduction to Nebbiolo — Barolo-like elegance without the long wait.
