Langhe Nebbiolo PRODUTTORI DEL BARBARESCO 2023

Langhe Nebbiolo PRODUTTORI DEL BARBARESCO 2023

This wine is produced every year by the Produttori del Barbaresco; it ranges from 10 to 30% of the total production depending on the quality of the vintage (the better the vintage is the less Nebbiolo is produced).

It is a second label for the Barbaresco and it is made with the grapes from young vines or those vineyards that produced a less intense and concentrated juice. It still has the quality necessary to be classified a Barbaresco, but the Winery declassifies it in order to sell it at a younger age and maintain the Barbaresco quality as high as possible.

Full body vintage, ripe intense red fruit and spicy notes of white pepper and anice.
