Langhe Nebbiolo DOC

Alberto Voerzio

Alberto's Langhe Nebbiolo is light on its feet with great lift, giddy with cherry and rose blossom aromatics. So pure and bright, a glimpse of spring. The tannins are well-moderated and the fruit component is allowed out to play. It seems lazy to say “classic” Langhe Nebbiolo but this truly fits the build. The palate is lovely: pure cherry and raspberry notes with a super long finish. With time the aroma picks up a touch of dried leaf and herbal complexity. Complex but easy to understand. Really long finish. There's insane value here for Nebbiolo lovers. Twelve months in older French oak barriques then racked to stainless steel to mellow another eight months, Alberto manages to keep the wine youthful and energetic without compromising on interest. (This wine is unfined & unfiltered and may therefore throw a natural deposit with age.)
