Ronchi Langhe - Nebbiolo 'in Amphoris' - 2021 DOC 14.5%
100% Nebbiolo, from estate vines, planted between 1985 and 2016, in soils that are a combination of limestone and clay-rich marl. Giancarlo can walk from his cellar door to his vines in less than a minute. All work is performed by hand, and as sustainably as possible. No herbicides or pesticides are used. The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks. Aged in terracotta amphorae for one year.
Classic aromas of dried cherry laced with a touch of rose. The palate is surprisingly plush, with a delightfully silky texture; flavors of red cherry, currants are met with hints of rose petals and notes of clay. Elegantly structured with a graceful acid backbone, complemented by perfectly polished tannins. 1,000 bottles produced.
