Based in Perno, near Monforte d'Alba, the domaine is known for its traditional approach to Nebbiolo, producing wines that favour elegance, purity and a genuine expression of their origins. It's exactly the sort of under-the-radar Piedmontese producer we love discovering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo comes from vineyards around the Barolo area, offering a more immediately approachable expression of the grape than the estate's celebrated Barolos. Traditional fermentation and ageing in large oak casks allow Nebbiolo's natural perfume and structure to shine, without the influence of heavy new oak. The result is a wine with plenty of Piedmontese character, but one that doesn't demand years of patience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry meet dried rose petals, subtle spice and a hint of earthy complexity. The palate is lively and beautifully structured, with fine tannins, bright acidity and a gently savoury finish. There's an appealing delicacy here, but also enough substance to make this a wonderful food wine. Delicious with mushroom risotto, roast chicken, truffle pasta or aged Parmigiano. A lovely introduction to traditional Langhe Nebbiolo, and a terrific alternative when Barolo feels a little too serious!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":67629756449085,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/6261\/8173\/files\/Cascina-Fontana-Nebbiolo-Wine-Store-Palm-Springs.jpg?v=1738360975","url":"https:\/\/www.perryspsp.com\/products\/cascina-fontana-langhe-nebbiolo-2023","provider":"Perry's Fine Wines \u0026 Liquors - Palm Springs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
