An authentic expression of Piedmont: this pure Nebbiolo comes from young vines (from both the Tortona and Serravallo terroirs) at higher altitudes around Barolo, Novello and Sinio. Produced in a completely natural style and following traditional vinification methods, it reflects the purity of the grape variety in its purest form. Ageing in stainless steel, with a minimal proportion in neutral oak, emphasises this pure fruit and its origin without any masking.

Visually, it presents itself as a light garnet red, clear and vibrant. The nose gently unfolds with notes of violets, rose petals, cranberry, raspberry and a subtle mineral undertone, followed by a delicate hint of spice. On the palate, it is lively, fresh and finely structured: velvety tannins, a crisp, zesty acidity and red fruits with plenty of vigour. For us, this is a near-perfect Langhe Nebbiolo that impresses with its lightness, aromatic clarity and drinkable finesse – stylish, charming and immediately approachable. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium-bright red; fresh and fruity, inviting; juicy, lovely Nebbiolo tannins, round, drinky, very enjoyable." (JLF) Merum

"This fresh red wine is bursting with aromas of strawberries, cherries and rosehips. The finish is crisp and juicy, with a subtle hint of tannins that offer a fine balance and length." Wine Spectator

"From a challenging vintage, this Nebbiolo reveals a core of ruby-red fruit aromas, complemented by notes of wild rose, violet and blood orange. Nebbiolo is particularly sensitive to terroir and growing conditions, and the cooler, rainier year of 2024 in the Langhe resulted in wines with a more delicate structure and livelier aromas. This vintage displays a refined and delicate character that, despite heavy rainfall and the risk of rot, suits the grape variety well. These conditions produced a wine with a light texture and a slender structure, but at this affordable price, these are major plus points." Wine Advocate

"Made from young vines grown mainly in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba, but outside the boundaries of Barolo, this lively Nebbiolo from the Langhe is aged entirely in stainless steel. Lovely, pure aromas of raspberries, cranberries and orange blossom waft from the glass, whilst a subtle earthy note grounds it. It is supple and agile, developing crisp yet smooth red fruit flavours. The tannins are moderate and flattering, and it finishes with zesty citrus and a hint of cardamom." Wine Enthusiast

"As bright as a freshly picked cherry, this Nebbiolo races across the palate like a bolt of lightning in a summer storm. Rose petals and almost-ripe raspberries dance with a hint of bay leaf, whilst tart cherries and redcurrants build up like a wave, allowing the spicy herbs to play amongst their bright notes."
