Langhe DOC Nebbiolo - Francesco Clerico represents a noble example of the emblematic grape variety of Piedmont, cultivated in the hills of the Langhe. This wine is born from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, which reflect the elegance and intensity of the local terroir, characterized by calcareous-clay soils and a microclimate ideal for producing wines with great structure.

Visually, it presents a clear garnet red color, while on the nose it releases complex aromas of red fruits, floral notes of violet, and slight spicy hints typical of Nebbiolo. On the palate, it confirms an elegant and well-balanced tannic texture, supported by good acidity that provides freshness and longevity. The finish is persistent, with recalls of cherry and sweet spices.

Perfect paired with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as truffle risottos and braised meats, it is a wine that sincerely expresses the authentic character of the Langhe.
