Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo Valdolmo is of intense ruby red and entices with complex vegetal, but also ripe-fruity fragrance. Powerful and fruity also the taste with the well integrated tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

Elegant Nebbiolo from the Langhe, not hyper-concentrated, but endowed with a wonderful clarity: Fine, warm, harmonious, with ripe fruit and aromas of dark berries, herbs and vanilla. Racy, persistent finish with well-proportioned, fresh acidity and firm tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sometimes you need simplicity in your wine from Italy's Piedmont, and this bottle delivers exactly that. The Ascheri 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo S. Giacomo, a blend of Nebbiolo with 15% Syrah, is fresh and fruity. Bright cassis fruit and cherry segue to blue flower and a touch of raw licorice root. There are no extra bells or whistles on this genuine and honest wine to enjoy with a simple focaccia and speck." Robert Parker

This Nebbiolo comes from the vineyards of the Inferno (hell). The mountains owe their name to the steep slopes and the scorching summer temperatures that prevail there. Pure bouquet of red fruits, underlined by a hint of tobacco, hints of mineral notes on the palate, plus fine tannins, perfectly integrated into an appealing acidity framework. A very authentic, classic and straightforward wine. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes for Inferno come from the Calvario, Sopragironi, Sottogironi and Ca Rossa subzones. They grow there in southern exposure on terraced slopes on poor, sandy soils. Rich, bright carmine red. Interesting aroma spectrum of spices, wild berries, liquorice and mint. Very harmonious on the palate, the tannin very well integrated and the Nebbiolo fruit and acid component present until the respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

A Nebbiolo for purists. In the fragrance pine resin, dried fruit and essential spices. On the palate we find sweet plums, juicy cherries, robust tannins and a fine mineral acidity. This drop requires a strong food companion and is in this combination a great pleasure! SUPERIORE.DE

"Really polished and balanced with berries, cherries and spices. Hints of walnuts. Medium body. Creamy finish. A smoky note comes through." James Suckling

"The Fontanabianca 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo shows a bright and tonic vibe that makes this a good choice for dinners at home with the family. The wine is open and approachable with lovely aromas of wild cherry, crushed flower and soft ferrous earth. The mouthfeel is lean and those Nebbiolo tannins are silky and satiny." Robert Parker

Full-bodied, appealing interpretation of the grape variety. In the bouquet a colourful potpourri of dried berries, violets, chocolate and hints of fresh tar. Firm on the palate, the well structured tannins accompany this hearty wine into a tasty, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Subtle aromas of strawberries, cherries and lemon rind follow through to a medium body with bright, vivid fruit, as well as candied watermelon and citrus. Lively." James Suckling

Sassella Le Tense is a silky and polished wine with wild berries, blueberries, bitter almond, crushed rock, ash and mild spice. It has all those ethereal and finely balanced flavors of a Nebbiolo-based Valtellina wine, but they are presented in a slightly more direct and approachable way. The firm tannins are wrapped in lovely fruit, and the medium-length finish fades out harmoniously. A beautiful wine from the far north of Lombardy. SUPERIORE.DE

Light copper pink. Delicate aromas of rose petals, candied cherry, citrus and traces of damp earth. Multi-layered on the palate of cherry, red currant, white pepper. Everything is underpinned by a beautiful minerality and crisp acidity. The interesting finish brings out notes of orange and ginger. All in all, a serious rosato of highly engaging character. SUPERIORE.DE

Montegrilli, a pure Nebbiolo, exudes wonderful, powerful fruit aromas in its fragrance and on the palate, plus a little rose petal with a hint of vanilla. A delicious wine between tradition and modernity with the typical elegance of Cogno wines. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red with orange reflections, elegant bouquet of spices and liquorice. Silky, warm with sweet tannin on the palate, then ripe fruit and a hint of vanilla on the palate. A serious, powerful and well structured Nebbiolo. SUPERIORE.DE

Exceptionally good balance between ripe fruit notes in the fragrance and freshness in the taste. Dense and harmonious, it penetrates the nose while on the palate the fleshy sensations last endlessly. Finesse, bite and terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

Don't be surprised: This expressive, fresh red could also be a rosé and in addition it has a very fine, barely noticeable mousseux. With these qualities, this serious fun-maker is a wonderfully refreshing and at the same time extremely tasty Nebbiolo, which with its expressive bouquet of crushed raspberries and strawberries is an ideal food companion or "just" spring or summer wine that can be enjoyed solo without any problems. For us, the wonderfully drinkable Piedmontese answer to the high-quality, dry Lambruschi of Emilia. Pure enthusiasm! SUPERIORE.DE

"This was one of my favorite discovery wines from last year, and it sure is a pleasure to circle back to this G.D. Vajra 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Claré J.C. today. Showing a luminous and bright ruby color, the bouquet shyly reveals wild cherry fruit and cassis. In a second moment, you taste bitter almond, candied lilac and hints of fresh garden herb or rosemary blossom. It's hard to image such a young wine tasting so good at this unbelievable price." Robert Parker

Intense color, a fresh bouquet of red fruits and sweet floral notes, tannic taste, nice harmony between acidity and alcohol, medium weight, persistent finish. For years our price-performance winner among the Nebbioli from the Langhe! SUPERIORE.DE

The concept is as simple as it is ingenious: Christoph Künzli wanted to create a Nebbiolo that is fresh and easy to drink, whose beguiling sweetness and richness is convincing right up to the last sip, and which nevertheless typically and unmistakably represents Alto Piemonte. The convincing result is fresh, with a rich bouquet of berries and flowers, crisp and velvety in the mouth. Be sure to enjoy it a little chilled and you will be surprised how quickly the bottle is empty! SUPERIORE.DE

Lively garnet red is the Fracia - the second top plant of the house Negri. Its fragrance is intense and animating, with aromas of plums and hints of violets, rose petals and spices. On the palate it is expressive and of fantastic density, warm and spicy with a long and elegant finish. A wine of great overall harmony and with a pronounced terroir character. SUPERIORE.DE

The extremely elegant Langhe Nebbiolo from Pio Cesare is a bright wine rich in nuances. Fruits, orange peel, spices and flowers on the nose. On the palate it is nicely round and full of energy with good potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Perbacco shows in the fresh bouquet first slightly leafy notes, then lots of cherry. Round on the palate, lots of ripe fruit, cherries and red berries, underpinned by fine-grained tannin, long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Classic Nebbiolo from, among others, the not so young vines of the cru site Starderi, which stands up to many a Barbaresco: Bright intense ruby with garnet rim, in the elegant bouquet a lot of fresh, clear berry fruit, on the palate accentuated acidity at the beginning, which then gives way to the beautiful fruit and the strong tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Attractive dried-berry, orange-peel and mineral character here. It's medium-bodied and juicy with candied citrus. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"Giorgio Rivetti is very proud of this wine and his work in this classic, slightly cool vintage. The La Spinetta 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo offers dark tones and bright fruit definition with forest berry, wild rose and cedar wood. I actually tasted some ripeness and softness in this wine, which adds to its immediate and universal appeal. You could pair a wine like this with a wide range of foods, from pasta to breaded veal. Fruit comes from the youngest plants in the Starderi vineyard (in Barbaresco)." Robert Parker

A perfect introduction to the impressive craft of a just 27-year-old winemaker who has already left a good deal behind on her way to the top. Here Nebbiolo comes into the glass in purezza, the ageing partly in 500 Liters tonneaux and stainless steel interprets it - according to Giulia Negri's vision - unadulterated and without distractions.

Bright ruby red, in the bouquet small red berries, humid forest soil and a subtle note of violet. On the palate of impressive elegance and smoothness, the Nebbiolo always remains firm and cool. In the final, the dark fruit beguiles with a freshness and juiciness that never seems opulent, but carries the suspense right into the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Clear, precise Nebbiolo with a bouquet of ripe cherries and subtle notes of tobacco. Polished on the palate, expansive and with silky tannin, straightforward and long the juicy fruit. Pure and sophisticated drinking pleasure! SUPERIORE.DE

Bright ruby red, on the nose small red berries, damp forest floor and a discreet note of violets. Impressively elegant and supple on the palate, the Nebbiolo always remains taut and cool.

For us, one of the best Nebbiolo of the Langhe. Some winemakers would make the entry-level Barolo out of this excellent base. Multi-layered, dark bouquet of wild berries, menthol, spices and rosehip. On the palate, powerful, present, with a taut draw and pronounced primary fruit. The tannin is well woven and very supple. Impeccable! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo Ginestrino is forthcoming and bright with honest aromas that underline forest fruit and wild cherry. This is a pleasurable and easy-drinking wine that shows a mid-weight approach with plenty of bitter almond, tar and pressed violets that appear as background shadings. Fresh acidity makes this a great choice to pair with a creamy beef stroganoff or something similar." Robert Parker

Excellent Langhe Nebbiolo. Garnet red, pronounced scent of ripe cherries, raspberries, dried rose petal and wild berries. The very juicy yet cool elegant taste shows its silky yet solid flanking tannin and harmonious acidity. A deep red with a lot of persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

The grapes come exclusively from the single vineyard San Pietro, and since the 2018 vintage, part of the wine has been vinified in amphorae. Berries, liquorice and deep red fruits on the nose. Finely woven and very precise structure, personality and class on the palate. Sheer elegance and Clerico pleasure without waiting for further ageing. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Domenico Clerico 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo Capismee is named after the local slang for "do you understand me." That's a fun twist because ultimately the wine is articulate and clear in its message, thanks to its variety-pure aromas of dark fruit, crushed rose, tar, smoke and licorice. Of course, this release offers all that typicity with a flair for the informal and the accessible. That's all we need to understand." Robert Parker
