2023 Cascina Fontana Langhe Nebbiolo, Piemonte, Italy
Our Langhe Nebbiolo is produced from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the historic Castello vineyard, the Lirano vineyard, and the Mombello vineyards, blended with a smaller proportion of Nebbiolo grapes from the cru vineyard Il Pozzo in Castiglione Falletto.
The Nebbiolo grapes destined to become Cascina Fontana Langhe Nebbiolo are vinified for a much shorter period (two weeks) than those destined to become Barolo. This results in a wine that is fresher, if less complex, but no less harmonious and elegant, with a beautiful balance of tannin and acidity. It is possible to age Langhe Nebbiolo for 15 to 20 years after the harvest.
