Starda Langhe Nebbiolo

Pretty nose, Firm tannin. This is top notch Langhe Nebbiolo.

Quaffable but sturdy. Great typicity.

Basically a bottle of great Barbaresco. Young vines from Cru Serraboella combined with another vineyard in Alba. Roast plums, tar, black tea, jasmine, nutmeg. Sensational! #paitin #nebbiolo

Characteristic searing acidity. Ripe, big.

With roast squab in orange gremolata and cauliflower

With tagliatelle and carbone red sauce and Italian sausage, roasted cauliflower

Third langhe Nebbiolo from 2021 I’ve had (after produttori and massolino) and I continue to be impressed - and hopeful for the Barolos / Barbarescos to come! This Starda from Paitin is a bit more generous and a bit less of an acid driven refined finish than the produttori. But still very nice - especially for <$20.

Lots of tar, super juicy, and acid forward, blackberry, dried violets, roasted plums, black tea, minerals, grapefruit pith. A little tight when opened, needed to breathe. From Town Center Wines, Eastham. 06/18/23.
