Popped and poured. The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo by Produttori del Barbaresco appears a brilliant ruby color with a transparent core and no signs of particles or gas. The viscosity is medium+ with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is a moderate intensity. There is dusty cherry fruit, red flowers, tar, and dried green herbs…a touch hot today. On the palate, the wine is bone dry. Tannins are medium+, acid is medium+…body is medium. Confirming the notes from the nose. Finish is medium and there is a fun sensory experience similar to that of a buzz button; super interesting. Anyway, this was crushable tonight with some Arab-style spiced lamb and rice. Drink now but don’t feel rushed.

Apr 14th, 2023My first experience with the 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo. The wine pours a light, bright ruby with a transparent core and slightly watery rim. The nose is all about the bright raspberries and slightly funky cherries. It’s super dry…with extremely firm tannins and high acid. At this stage, the structure overwhelms the fruit a bit which makes it come across a touch austere. However, with time, I suspect this will come around. Anyway, for $20, this is awesome.

A bit tight at first but after a couple hours opened up beautifully. A clear bright cherry color with hints of mint, starfruit, grass, and a steely Whetstone finish

Richer and riper than previous vintages that I can remember... prune notes are prominent.
Update: so much better the 2nd day. Stewed fruit notes are much more integrated, and the wine is much more enjoyable. This is one to lay down for a couple years.
