2023 Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Bèch

The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo comes from two specific, cooler plots in Castiglione Falletto and Monforte d’Alba, chosen to show Nebbiolo at its most elegant and delicate. It is also the estate’s largest production and, in many ways, its flagship wine: bright, floral, full of fresh fruit, and incredibly lively. There is a bass note on the nose that makes our portfolio director, Joe, hum Seven Nation Army. If you know, you know. We will leave it at that. There are plenty of Langhe Nebbiolos out there, but we are completely head over heels for this one. And should you taste it at one of our events, no spit cup will be harmed.
