A single-variety Nebbiolo from old vines dating back to 1970, grown on calcareous marl soils at around 300 meters above sea level. Fermented and macerated with native yeasts, then aged a minimum of 18 months in large oak foudres. Bright, lifted aromas of red berry, boxwood, and spice lead to a sleek, fresh palate with juicy acidity and mineral-driven tannins — a more accessible expression of the estate's Nebbiolo, produced within an overall annual output of around 20,000 bottles.
From vines planted in 1970, this Langhe Nebbiolo punches well above its DOC classification — proof that Roberto Bianco doesn't hold back quality just because the label says 'Langhe' instead of 'Barbaresco'.
New to wine?
The most approachable red in the Cascina Morassino range — a great way to try the estate's Nebbiolo style before stepping up to Barbaresco.
Food Pairings
Excellent with grilled sausages, veal tonnato, and semi-aged cheeses — light enough for weeknight dinners yet structured enough for braised dishes.
When to drink it
