Winemaker's Notes:

Langhe Nebbiolo is a wine made with the same grapes used to obtain Barolo and the vineyard is also the same. However, it goes through a different wine-making process. It is certainly a lighter wine than Barolo but just as delicate, elegant and suitable for ageing.

Color
Very bright ruby red that tends to fade with ageing

Nose
Delicate and fruity

Taste
Dry, although dense - recalling fruit such as raspberries. Ageing, it becomes velvety and soft
