ready-keep2016 Langhe Nebbiolo, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont

A blend of fresh, fruity Sinio Nebbiolo and more structured Castiglione Falletto fruit from Mario’s Pozzo vineyard, this wine is pure and suave. The palate shows the refinement and class of Castiglione Falletto, with bright fruity focus and crunchy blackberry charm. There’s a lovely, flattering roll of fruit, along with more crystalline, ethereal flavours that point to ancient, calcareous clay soils. Ten months in Slovenian oak has given softness and a sweet frame, retaining incredible energy and enjoyability. Drink now to 2028.
