2024 Burlotto - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC (750ml)

The 2024 Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo DOC channels the gravelly limestone and clay soils of the Alba hills into a wine that balances approachable fruit with genuine structural backbone. As a foundational release from a historic Langhe producer, it delivers direct access to regional Nebbiolo typicity without the extended barrel aging found in classified crus.

Tasting notes highlight bright sour cherry, raspberry, and violet aromatics interwoven with subtle licorice and wet stone minerality. The mid-palate rests firmly on fresh acidity and refined tannins, guiding the wine toward a saline, persistent finish. The moderate alcohol level ensures the wine stays focused and food-driven rather than heavy.

Serve slightly cool to preserve freshness. It aligns closely with traditional Piedmontese cuisine, pairing beautifully with tajarin pasta, porcini risotto, and osso buco. Lighter roasts, aged Langhe pecorino, and fennel-based salumi also stand up well to the wine’s firm grip and earthy undertones.

Enjoy brief decanting shortly before opening, or hold for three to five years in a cool cellar to develop secondary notes of dried tobacco, forest floor, and polished leather. This label provides a reliable benchmark for the Langhe classification while delivering consistent technical precision for both immediate consumption and short-term cellaring.
