One of Italy’s great red wines, produced from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Langhe area of Piedmont. The wine takes its name from the village of its origin.

Tasting notes

The nose is almost sensual in its complexity, with aromas of forest fruits, plums, licorice, mineral and coffee scents. Long, complex finish with fine, silk-like tannins and good acidity; dense structure, full of super-ripe fruit.

Rating

Wine Spectator 91 points Loads of blackberry, strawberry and cherry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Serious for the vintage. Well done. Best after 2008. 2,500 cases made. –JS
