Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2022

Wine Description for Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2022 by Chiara Boschis – E.Pira & Figli

Colour & Appearance

Powerful ruby red with brilliant, luminous reflections – a visual promise of the vitality of this young Nebbiolo.

Nose

Varietal and precise, this 2022 presents itself: dark cherry dominates, underpinned by sandalwood and earthy notes that lend depth. Distinctive violets in the upper register – that classic Nebbiolo signature – and a subtly balsamic top note round out the aromatic profile. A wine that skilfully bridges the gap between everyday drinking and Barolo aspirations.

Palate

Here the true quality reveals itself: silky fine, tightly woven tannins caress a juicy, dark fruit with remarkable elegance. The wine possesses meaty bite and a structure that is both balanced and invigorating. The well-integrated acidity provides freshness, whilst the 14.5% alcohol is perfectly incorporated. A Nebbiolo with substance that doesn’t come across as pretentious, but rather offers solid drinking pleasure.

Finish

Medium to long, with lingering fruit and a fine tannin structure that makes you eager for the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from a specially designed vineyard with so-called „fasce di rispetto“ – buffer rows separating it from non-organic neighbouring vineyards. A pragmatic solution that underscores Chiara Boschis‘ commitment to organic viticulture without compromising on quality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Nebbiolo, 14 months ageing in French barriques (second fill), followed by two months in bottle. This restrained oak treatment allows the fruit to take centre stage and shapes the tannins without dominating the wine.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect for the cold season: Brasato al Barolo, Ossobuco, aged Parmigiano Reggiano or mushroom risotto with truffle. Also an excellent choice with game and braised beef dishes.

Special Features

This Langhe Nebbiolo offers authentic Piedmont enjoyment at a fair price – a democratic entry point to the Nebbiolo world from one of the most renowned Barolo producers. Exceptional value for money for lovers of elegant Italian red wines.
