Grape Variety: Nebbiolo
Region: Langhe, Piedmont
Winemaker: Janko Pelagic
Alcohol: 13.5%

Summary: Piedmont, in the foothills of the Alps in the north west of Italy, is home to the country’s finest full-bodied red wines. The greatest wines are made from the extremely long lived Nebbiolo. Sourced from vineyards in the small commune of Castiglione Falletto in Piedmon.

Winemaking: Vinified in open fermenters with daily pumpovers. The Nebbiolo is immediately separated from skins for pressing after a short maceration period. The fruit is matured independently in a mix of small French oak casks and large Slavenion oak for eight months before blending and a further four months ageing in large oak casks.

2021 Vintage: The 2021 vintage in Piedmont's Langhe region is widely considered a good to very good year, with mild weather leading to quality fruit and structured, ageable wines. The growing season was followed by cool, wet conditions in late April and May, which were followed by warm, dry conditions until harvest.

Tasting Note: With the alps on three sides in the country’s mountainous North West, Piedmont creates some of Italy’s finest red wines. This elegant and complex wine displays the lifted aromatics, bright red fruits and fine tannins so expressive of Langhe Nebbiolo. It’s smooth and medium bodied with dark berries. hints of dried herb and nunaces of leather. Approachable now but will benefit mid-term cellaring. Pair it with some rustic pork and fennel sausages on creamy parmesan polenta.
