A "terrific value" Nebbiolo from a revered producer of Barbaresco, Produttori. While this is released under the general appellation Langhe, it follows Produttori's rule of over-delivering on quality. Just as their Barberesco is a second selection from top single vineyards, so this regional Lange is mostly declassified Barbaresco juice. With elegant but deep and nuanced flavours, this is a racy and Barbaresco-like Nebbiolo.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Produced from young vineyards, this Nebbiolo has a young, fresh character that is ready for immediate consumption and is ideal for every day drinking. While labeled under the Langhe DOC appellation, this wine follows all the guidelines and achieves a quality level on par with the Barbaresco denomination. The first vintage of this wine was produced in 1978.
Ruby red colour. Bouquet of red fruit with notes of spices, white pepper and anise. The flavour is balanced with bright fruit. Pairs well with pizza, pastas with simple sauces, sausage, ham, charcuterie and spicy dishes."

93/100 Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo opens to dark primary fruit with medium concentration and elegant tones of dried blackberry and pressed cherry. There is a soft earthy quality to the wine that recalls tea, dried tobacco leaf or peat moss. However, the slightly more concentrated quality of Nebbiolo offered by this wine is the main attraction. Cola or dried mint adds lift at the end."
