Pretty classically styled here. Bright red fruit, very elevated acid and tannin. Pretty bright red fruit.

Black cherries, sun dried tomatoes, dried thyme, graphite, orange rind, roses. Perfectly balanced rounded acid/rough velvet tannin grip, full bodied, evolving juicy texture, long smoky/pepper/herbal final. Structure driven, firm and exceeds well beyond price point. One of the better village nebbiolo's out there.

Very typical light Nebbiolo color with slight bricking at the meniscus. Nose of cherry, tar, funk, earth, with a little cotton candy around the edges. A very light wine with big acid and big tannins: unmistakably Italian!

Notes of savoury cherry and soil. Light to medium weight palate. Expected a bit more weight from the warm 2011 Vintage. In summary- Clean , Savoury and Dry. A good Lange quaffer. Continuing my Italian Week. Had this again 53 weeks later with Pasta and loved it. Perfect accompaniment.

2011 Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo - Ripe fresh cherry fruit and firm tannins. Balanced and delicious. This is quality, people.

Second 2021 langhe I’ve had after the produttori. Very nice. Quite balanced. Great aromatics on the nose. Wonderful balance between fruit and earth with nice acid on the finish. Delicious.

So much Nebbiolo character. Seems a bit youthful and disjointed, definitely some younger fruit mixed in here, but that’s a lot of wine for $27. Probably better than a lot of entry-level Barbaresco and Barolo. I think a few years in the cellar would do it well.
