Castello di Perno Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Castello di Perno's 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo is sourced from the Gramolere cru in Monforte d'Alba. Due to its north-facing vineyards, it doesn't qualify for the Barolo designation. However, this works to the wine lover's advantage, resulting in an exceptional Langhe Nebbiolo that punches above its weight in terms of concentration and complexity. The winemaking process involves a shorter maceration period compared to their Barolo wines, leading to a more approachable and generous style. Despite this, the wine still showcases the nuanced characteristics that define Gian Luca Colombo's skillful handling of Nebbiolo grapes.

This wine is notable for its orange-tinged aromas and fresh, abundant fruit flavors. It's designed for immediate enjoyment, offering accessibility and pleasure. Starting with the 2021 vintage, the wine is certified organic, and the estate is in the process of transitioning to biodynamic practices.
