Langhe Nebbiolo DOC

From the youngest Nebbiolo vineyards, located in Neive. The first very first Nebbiolo vineyards Luigi Einaudi bought. The vineyards are located on the hills that run from Dogliani towards Barbaresco and feature calcareous marl soil and south and southeastern exposure. Vinified in stainless steel the wine is drawn off after four to five days. It ages twelve months in stainless steel and two months in bottle. An elegant fruit-forward and flavorful Nebbiolo with a full body, wonderful even young.
