Description
The Langhe Nebbiolo from Diego and Damiano Barale all comes from their plot in San Giovanni, with its mix of young and old vines in the centre of the slopes. The older vines were planted by their father in 1978. The colour is an enchanting pale ruby, with a nose of savoury cherry, sweet raspberry and floral rose. The palate is elegant, with intense fruit, velvet tannins and a clean, mineral finish. This is irresistible, and a complete steal.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Langhe
Langhe is an all-encompassing zone lying due south of Alba and the River Tanaro in the province of Cuneo. Barolo and Barbaresco both lie within its boundaries. Langhe is also the name of a regional DOC zone, which is used to classify wines made outside of the traditional Piemontese varietal scheme. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region are, for example, classified as Langhe DOC.
