Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
Tasting Notes
Langhe Nebbiolo is a wine that combines body and elegance, lends itself to aging and is one of the most representative grape varieties of our territory.
Work in the Nebbiolo vineyards starts in the winter with the pruning of the vines and goes on with allegation, cleaning and cutting of the branches and ending with harvesting during the month of October.
