2022 Cascina Fontana Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy
$39.99
The Langhe Nebbiolo is produced from nebbiolo grapes grown on the historic vineyard of Castello in Sinio and from the cru vineyard Il Pozzo in Castiglione Falletto. The Castello di Sinio vineyard has been in the Fontana family for more than 100 years, and was tended by his cousin for decades before he passed on intimate knowledge of the terroir to Mario. These nebbiolo grapes are vinified for a much shorter period than those destined to become Barolo, resulting in a wine that is fresh with a beautiful balance of tannin and acidity.
