2024 Sottimano - Langhe Nebbiolo (750ml)

Grown on the notably sandy soils of the lower Basarin cru, the 2024 Sottimano Langhe Nebbiolo delivers a fresh, structured expression of Piedmont’s signature variety from the historic Treiso and Neive estates.

Andrea Sottimano cultivates these twenty-five-year-old vines without filtration or fining, relying on spontaneous fermentation, extended skin maceration, and natural malolactic conversion to preserve the site’s distinct mineral backbone. Because this fruit originates from younger vines rather than the estate’s oldest plots, the vintage functions as a more accessible and earlier-drinking introduction to Sottimano’s winemaking philosophy compared to their reserved Barbaresco bottlings.

The palate opens with concentrated red berries and sweet floral aromatics layered beneath delicate rose petal and earthy undertones. As the wine develops in the glass, pronounced notes of crushed mint and sweet licorice emerge alongside a crisp acidic spine and finely woven tannins. This bright, food-forward structure supports robust regional dishes while cutting cleanly through richer preparations. Serve alongside herb-crusted lamb chops, pappardelle tossed with wild boar ragù, or sliced aged Parmigiano Reggiano to highlight the wine’s savory depth and persistent finish. Each 750ml bottle arrives unmanipulated and ready for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellar aging.
