@Delectable Wine Not Langhe ,but ianghe(actually pronounced iang) which is the dialectal word for bianco.
However this is going to be another favourite of mine. Quite an unusual wine for Basilicata, more on the funky natural Australian wave style😍
It reminds me of the Riesling made by Shobbrook in Eden Valley.
It's made mainly with the local malvasia and a touch of moscato
Spontaneous fermentation obviously
No skin contact during that
Malo in stainless steel tank
The wine is generous and vibrant
It starts with the fruits such as white plums, peaches and a bit of apricot and maybe mango too.
Then moves onto the flowers and to the aromatics: yellow flowers and basil(prominent)
After that we go with spices like ginger, white pepper and a touch of smokiness plus a tingling mineral decorating every step of the sensorial experience
Palate is long too
I had always believed the local malvasia in this region could have excellent potential and this is the first great example in that direction.
Plus the story of the winery transforming a family business that has always helped people with difficulties attracts me too
I had been willing to try their wine for a while and i haven't been disappointed i must say — 4 years ago

Very interesting, like a sophisticated red wine vinegar, in a good way. You can definitely feel the Riesling in the finish note. — 7 years ago

Right place right time and this will work wonders. On its own its too big, too idiosyncratic. Tastes like ragu, heavy on the thyme. Incredibly savoury, amazing texture- but crying out for the right meal. — 10 years ago

Floral with violets, roses, cherry fruit, cola like richness, and topped off with old leather. Complex and yet easy drinking this is a superb natural wine. — 9 years ago

This is looking terrific
Very tuned
Seppetsfield vineyard
Barossa without being gigantic, but very easy drinking instead
Still freshness driving the taste
Maybe not superlong, but more than OK I'd say — 7 years ago

Fascinating and unusual off-dry Riesling with skin contact producing a lovely blood orange colour. Apricots and peaches on the nose, low alcohol, high acidity- a wine that simply sings. — 11 years ago
