2024. Sottimano is not entirely happy with his harvest so he declassifies his Barbaresco Cru to this ‘humble’ Langhe Nebbiolo. The same 5 Cru vineyards, same approach as for his top wines, just less barrel aging.
Translucent, bright ruby red.
An enticing nose full of sweet flowers, rose petals, red fruit, a touch of tangerine peel, mint, anise. Fresh, complex and very inviting.
Medium bodied on the palate, with great freshness and purity. Fine tannins, juicy acidity, bright, lively, with nice tension and good depth. Complex and quite elegant, youthful & joyful right now but will mellow with age and gain some seriousness.
Doesn’t have the weight of a Cru Barbaresco, but certainly the precision, depth & purity.
Love it!
