Red
Langhe Nebbiolo
By Gigi Rosso, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A younger-style Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, kept in steel rather than wood and made to drink earlier.
Tasting notes
Light, bright ruby red. Raspberry, cherry and wild strawberry with rose and violet. Medium-bodied, with lively acidity and fine-grained tannins and a long, balanced finish.
Pairs well with
Charcuterie, light pasta dishes, roast white meats and mild cheeses.
