Piedmont new releases

Having bought the vineyard at the end of 2010 and replanted the following year, 2014 was the 1st vintage of this now much sought after wine. The layers of complexity well surpass the youth of the vines. This is quite an expressive, almost showy style of Barolo with bramble fruit, dried rose and hints of truffle. The tannins have a sweetness to them, but have a structure and firmness that 2019 brings. Exceptionally long.

With south and south west exposure, on limestone and clay rich soil at the top of the Lazzarito vineyard, this wine displays a spicy and pepper notes combined with wild flowers and herbs. Tannins are quite pronounced currently, but there is a restrained concentration that will allow this wine to mellow in bottle. A rather alluring wine.

These over 60 year old vines are situated in the famed Lazzarito vineyard and you can really feel the quality of this vineyard come through in this wine. There is a lot of energy and vibrancy and layers of complexity with anise, wild flowers, sour cherries and smoky notes. Tannins are firm and quite present currently, but you can’t help but be impressed with their handling and the wine’s balance.

The south east facing vineyard, situated next to the Cerretta vineyard benefits from the morning sun, producing a wine with great juxtaposition. Juicy red berry and plum fruits are also supported by layers of violet and wild herbs as well as a mineral finish. Tightly wound core, in time the firm tannins are sure to resolve rather beautifully.

Blueberries and violets are at the forefront, with pepper spice, hints of anise and kirsch notes adding supporting layers. The juicy core offers approachability as well as balance.

Wild strawberries, redcurrant and bright red cherry notes exude from the glass whilst the chalky, tight knit tannins provide the perfect backbone. There is a concentration and accessibility on the palate creating a rather enticing Langhe Nebbiolo.
