“Il Sarto” Nebbiolo Langhe DOC
Maximum expression of varietal character. Ruby red, with garnet highlights. Grapey
aromas and hints of ripe red fruit and jam are accompanied by clear notes of rose. Oak aging allows the right combination of tannic richness, typical of Langa Nebbiolo, and the softness of the palate, making this wine balanced but long-lasting. Partial carbonic fermentation for brightness and fruit.
