Join to read it and the restA Langhe Nebbiolo from Cascina Corte's Dogliani fruit in the San Luigi hills, just west of the Barolo zone on limestone, tuff and clay. Hand-picked and fermented on native yeasts with no added enzymes, then aged around eighteen to twenty months in large oak casks and bottled unfiltered in the estate's organic, low-intervention style. The 2021 came from a cool, classic Piedmont vintage that handed Nebbiolo firm structure and bright acidity: pale garnet, sour cherry, violet and dried herbs over fine, savoury tannins, a lighter and more transparent read on the grape than Barolo.
