Red
Langhe Nebbiolo
By Aldo Clerico, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Nebbiolo from the estate's youngest vines in the Barolo area, aged 12 to 16 months in barriques.
Tasting notes
Nebbiolo grown in the Barolo production area, from the youngest vineyards, vinified with care and aged in wood. Red with garnet reflections, typically not intense. Delicately floral nose recalling rose and violet, with an intense liquorice finish. Wide, warm entry with a pleasant, velvety, decisive tannic development and very good ageing potential.
