Red
Nebbiolo d'Alba
By Marello, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Single-variety Nebbiolo from the family's vineyard in Corneliano d'Alba, aged about a year in steel and partly in oak barriques. Alcohol 14 to 15% vol depending on vintage.
Tasting notes
Red with orange reflections. The mainly sandy soil gives elegance; fine, delicate, persistent aroma. Pleasantly bitterish, velvety, light and full at once.
Pairs well with
White and red meats, cured meats and aged cheeses, fonduta with truffles, and important traditional first courses from risotto to lasagne
