Red
Langhe Nebbiolo
By Emanuele Gambino, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A 100% Nebbiolo from Santo Stefano Belbo, aged in large French oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Medium-intensity carmine red. Intense, complex, fine nose of rose and violet, raspberry and wild strawberry, with sweet spice such as nutmeg and green pepper. Fresh and full on the palate, moderate tannin, delicately persistent finish with fruity retro-olfaction.
Pairs well with
Meat ravioli in roast gravy, braised beef, or poached egg with truffle fondue.
