The 2015 Langhe DOC bottling is really a strong effort. 100% Nebbiolo and declassified Barbaresco from the Martinenga cru, these younger vines are already producing some gorgeous fruit. I found this to be appreciably more elegant and complex than prior vintages, but perhaps that's just my palate evolving along with the young vines. The tannins are much softer than I was expecting, and such lovely fruit and aromatics at this stage. I really admire the purity and integrity of this wine at this modest price. Part of the beauty of Piedmont is discovering these pure Nebbiolo wines year in and year out that are quite serious and affordable. They provide lovely food wines to enjoy while our Barolo and Barbaresco are resting. Absolutely one to seek out and buy in multiples. A real steal at less than $20.

Scintillating acidity, tannic grip, benchmark non-Barolo or Barbaresco Nebbiolo. Decant at last two hours and stash a few away.

Pretty big wine! Black cherry and blueberry on the nose. The aroma is probably my favorite thing about the wine. Moderate to high tannins with some good acidity, pretty boozy too. A tad bitter, some savoriness as well. Would be lovely with a steak.

Strawberry, wild flower, subtle hints of smoke. Fruity on the nose. Palate is light and acidic with a tannic bite. My new favorite grape.
