La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2019

A red wine from La Spinetta, from the Neive area, made from hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. After maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled steel, it matures for 12 months in second- and third-passage French oak barrels, then refines for a further six months in bottle. Typical light ruby red. The nose shows small red fruits, followed by dog rose, violet and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is precise, fresh and elegant, with firm but not intrusive tannins and excellent structure. Good with roasted or grilled red meat, beef tagliata, or polenta with mushrooms.
