Detailed info

Located in Piedmont, northwest of Italy, the Langhe appellation has the advantage of allowing producers to use a wide range of varieties in the making of their wines. This recent cuvée from Pio Cesare, however, relies solely on Nebbiolo, used in the famous Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Discover this red provided with a certain complexity, combining scents of cherry, plum and dried purple flowers with a touch of wood that gives it a delicate note of incense. Decant for one hour and watch it take flight. It will reward you paired to a beef tenderloin cooked on charcoal.

(Automatically translated) A high-end Nebbiolo that looks a lot like $35-40 Barolos. Light but full-bodied texture. Beautiful product with pasta or even with red meat.
