Description
The fruit for the brothers’ Langhe Nebbiolo is entirely sourced from their vineyard in San Giovanni, just south of the Barolo comune, in Monforte d’Alba. It’s a special plot, not only for the quality of fruit produced, but for the fact that it looks like a prehistoric moment in time: a green oasis, with grass up to the knees and large bunches of grapes. The wine sees a total fermentation of 15-20 days, before 12 months in tonneau, a brief sojourn into steel and then bottle ageing of three months before release. This is an incredible vintage and feels like eating a bursting grape. The perfect ambassador for Nebbiolo, it is a wine of pure joy.

About this wine
Langhe
Langhe is an all-encompassing zone lying due south of Alba and the River Tanaro in the province of Cuneo. Barolo and Barbaresco both lie within its boundaries. Langhe is also the name of a regional DOC zone, which is used to classify wines made outside of the traditional Piemontese varietal scheme. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region are, for example, classified as Langhe DOC.
