Description
Veglio’s Langhe Nebbiolo is named in honour of Alessandro’s grandfather, the founder of the domaine. Half the fruit is sourced from rented vines in Roero, while the rest comes from young vines and north-facing plots across the estate. The rotofermenter is no longer used (hitherto its last foothold in the cellar) and the wine had a short extraction of nine days. This is very accented on red fruit this year, with lots of strawberry notes. It’s utterly delicious in a smooth, modern style, combed by silky tannins.

Critics reviews
Kerin O'Keefe 93/100
Utterly delicious, the 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo hits all the right buttons, starting with its alluring fragrance of blue flower, cedar and woodland berry. Showing the charm of a young, beautifully crafted Nebbiolo meant to be enjoyed in its youth and a few years beyond, it doles out ripe raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed mint before closing on a note of star anise. Lithe tannins and fresh acidity provide seamless support.Drink through 2027Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (March 2024)
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.
