Langhe Nebbiolo Argante 2023 offers a refined interpretation of Nebbiolo, defined by elegance, balance and aromatic precision. It comes from vineyards in the municipality of Alba, an area particularly suited to the cultivation of this renowned grape variety. The vineyards lie between 280 and 300 metres above sea level, with south-west-facing exposures and soils composed of calcareous and clay-rich marl, contributing to the wine's distinctive character.
Made from 100% Nebbiolo, the grapes come from Guyot-trained vineyards, where yields are carefully controlled at approximately 60-65 quintals per hectare through selective green harvesting. Harvest generally takes place around mid-October, when the grapes reach an ideal balance between ripeness and freshness.
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 26-28°C, with fermentation lasting approximately 10-12 days and frequent pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation follows, before the wine is transferred into oak for ageing. It then matures for 12 months in 500-litre French oak tonneaux, a process that encourages complexity while preserving the distinctive varietal character of Nebbiolo.
In the glass, it displays a light ruby-red colour with garnet reflections. The bouquet is expressive and elegant, revealing floral notes of rose and violet, followed by ripe cherry and raspberry, with delicate spicy and mineral nuances. On the palate, it impresses with its harmony and finesse. The tannins are well balanced, while subtle hints of liquorice add depth to the flavour. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a refined and harmonious impression.
Langhe Nebbiolo Argante 2023 is a distinctive Piedmontese red wine with excellent ageing potential. Further bottle ageing allows its aromatic profile to evolve, gradually developing greater complexity. At the table, it pairs naturally with risotto, agnolotti and other substantial first courses, as well as roasted meats, veal chops and lamb.
