Description

Nebbiolo and Barbera are produced separately to obtain the maximum expression of both varieties. Aging in French barriques for 12 months, and after assembled together before bottling. In the bouquet some cherry and blueberry, then autumn leaves, walnuts and forest soil. In the drink very soft and delicate, the polished tannins make it appear smoother and more accessible than the Nebbiolo dominance would suggest. A wine of great freshness and complexity, with good structure and made for a long life.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 18-20 °C with grilled meat and terrines.

Wine Advocate

This blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera has always been made the same way: It is aged for one year in barrique and always in new oak. In fact, you could say the style veers more toward the so-called "super Tuscan" side of the spectrum rather than that of a traditional Langhe. The 2016 Langhe Arte shows beautiful tones of tobacco and spice with plenty of black, luscious fruit at its core. For years the blend saw 90% Nebbiolo and 10% Barbera.
