Cantine Lanzavecchia ‘Cren del Riccio’ Langhe Rosso 2023
Langhe DOC – Piedmont, Italy
Blend: 60% Barbera, 30% Dolcetto, 10% Merlot

An easygoing, fruit-forward red from the rolling hills of the Langhe, this youthful blend offers approachability and freshness in every sip. Made to drink young, it delivers low tannins, soft texture, and ripe berry character.

On the nose & palate: Notes of blackberry, plum, and a touch of light spice make this wine charming and versatile. The Dolcetto adds softness, Barbera brings brightness, and Merlot rounds it out with gentle texture.

Mouthfeel: Smooth and supple with minimal tannic grip, perfectly suited for casual sipping or light fare.

Pro tip: Chill slightly to 62–65°F and pair with soft cheeses, charcuterie, or rustic pasta dishes.
Not built for aging, enjoy it while it’s fresh and lively.

Cheers to everyday Piemonte!

Musty raisins and acetone. Hydrogen peroxide almost. Leather, some fruits but lots of must.
