From: La Morra, Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Taste & Critical Acclaim: The Nebbiolo wine is intensely ruby red with violet reflections. Its aroma is a delightful blend of fresh, floral, and fruity notes, featuring distinct scents of rose hip, marasca/morello cherry, and delicate raspberry. The wine is vinous on the palate, showcasing incredible freshness and light, delicate tannins. It has a fine, balanced body with good aromatic persistence, making it a well-rounded and harmonious wine.
“Vinous and very floral with violet scents, its slightly chalky tannins make way for super-refreshing acidity – the palate's protagonist. An easier, softer and more drinkable Nebbiolo, this is aged only in stainless steel tank for six months. The grapes come half from young vineyards in the Barolo area, and half from Roero.” 90 points, Decanter
Pairing: This Langhe Nebbiolo wine pairs beautifully with savory dishes. Its fresh, floral, and fruity notes make it an excellent match for roasted meats such as lamb or beef, where the wine's acidity cuts through the richness and enhances the flavors. It also complements pasta dishes with rich tomato-based sauces, such as classic spaghetti Bolognese or lasagna, bringing out the sweetness of the tomatoes while balancing the dish's overall richness. With its earthy flavors, mushroom risotto pairs wonderfully with the wine's aromatic persistence and floral notes. Grilled vegetables, particularly those with char and seasoning, align well with the wine's character and light tannins.
Try pairing this Nebbiolo with Korean barbecue short ribs, Moroccan lamb tagine with apricots, or a porcini mushroom and truffle risotto!
