Red
Langhe Nebbiolo
By Francesco Borgogno, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Langhe Nebbiolo made from the same vineyards as the family's Barolo but vinified differently, kept in steel. About 7,000 bottles in the 2023 vintage.
Tasting notes
Red, not so intense. Delicate and fruity nose. Dry but dense, recalling raspberries; velvety and soft with ageing.
Pairs well with
Fondues, risottos and meat dishes.
