More questions
Langhe Nebbiolo DOC - Magnum - Gianfranco Alessandria emerges from the heart of the Langhe, a territory famous for the production of high-quality Nebbiolo. This wine is made from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, grown on hilly soils rich in limestone and clay, which confer elegance and structure to the final product.
The vinification method involves traditional fermentation with prolonged maceration, followed by aging in wooden barrels that enhance the varietal aromas and give complexity. On the nose, intense scents of rose, withered violet, spicy notes, and light hints of ripe red fruits open up. On the palate, it is vigorous and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
Perfect paired with red meat dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, this Langhe Nebbiolo in Magnum format is ideal for those seeking a sip of authenticity and Piedmontese tradition to share on special occasions.
