Langhe DOC Nebbiolo - Cordero di Montezemolo

The powerful Langhe Nebbiolo from the hand of Cordero di Montezemolo flows into the glass with dense ruby red. When the glass is swirled, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in pronounced church windows on the rim of the glass. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of sour cherries and blackberries in the glass. Added to this are hints of black cherry and licorice.

The Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Nebbiolo presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine lover. This red wine never appears coarse or lean, as one might expect from a wine in the top-quality range. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an immensely silky texture. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region finally delights with considerable length. Once again, nuances of blackberry and sour cherry appear.

Vinification of the Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Nebbiolo

The powerful Langhe Nebbiolo from Italy is a single-varietal wine vinified from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The Langhe Nebbiolo is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian breathes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. There they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 8 months in oak barrels.
