Belcolle Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

Description

The noble grape behind Piemontese greats Barolo and Barbaresco, this Langhe Nebbiolo is made to be enjoyed young. There’s no oak here, the grapes are simply fermented in stainless steel for 10 days ensuring fruit is accentuated over tannins.

Brillant ruby red in colour, morello cherry, raspberry and violet leap from the glass initially, with trademark earthy, woody characters in the background. It is dry on the palate but quite opulent, succulent red fruit balanced by hints of leather and forest floor, all brought together by savoury tannins and a crisp, cleansing acidity.

Great with barbecued meats, tomato-based pasta dishes and hard cheeeses.
