Tasting notes
The full tar and roses proposition on the nose, with dark chocolate, mouth-watering cherry and delicious fragrance on the finish. High but finely ground tannic feel, giving the authentic Nebbiolo structure without any of the pain. Beautifully balanced. (RH)

The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo is a clear, direct and immediate wine. It offers those characteristic varietal tones of dried berry fruit, rose hip and licorice with a cheerful and informal approach. This bouquet is mild in terms of intensity, but all the main components are there. There is a very subtle note of sweetness or softness in the mouth that makes this wine a good choice to drink within the next two or three years. With 40,000 bottles made, this wine should be relatively easy to source.
Less aromatically appealing than their Barbera d’Alba at a similar price, with chewy tannins and a lack of sufficient fruit power. (RH)
