Langhe Nebbiolo

G. B. Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo

A younger, more immediate Nebbiolo from Verduno vineyards, aged in large French oak casks.

Tasting notes

The youth of Nebbiolo, unexpected, brilliant and memorable: it does not have the weight of the great wines, but it brings as a gift its precious, intimate clarity.

Soil
Calcareous soils with a balanced mix of clay, sand and silt, partly Sant'Agata Fossili laminated marls and partly Cassano Spinola Formation.
Vinification
Grapes come from top vineyards that, being young or because of the vintage, the estate thinks suit a wine that shows the grape's most immediate, gentle side. Hand-picked, 20 kg crates, destemmed, moved by gravity into open French oak vats and open stainless steel tanks, daily pump-overs and punch-downs. Malolactic in stainless steel, then aged in large French oak casks. Bottled normally between late August and early September of the year after the harvest.
