Langhe Nebbiolo
By Cantina San Matteo, Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
Langhe Nebbiolo DOC from Neive and Roddi, 100% Nebbiolo, kept in steel and glass, 13.5% ABV.
Tasting notes
Still, ruby red, with the Nebbiolo nose of sour cherry through to forest fruits. Simple and fresh on the palate, well balanced between fruit and delicate savouriness.
Pairs well with
Everyday Piedmontese cooking: meat and savoury vegetable dishes, grilled meats, cured meats, medium-aged cheeses. Plin-style agnolotti with meat ragu.
