Let’s talk about Langhe Nebbiolo DOC - Crissante Alessandria

More questions

Crissante Alessandria’s Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is produced in La Morra, in the heart of the Langhe, from east-facing vineyards located at approximately 250 metres above sea level. The clay and calcareous soils, with exposed marl, enhance the elegance and freshness of the Nebbiolo grape. Harvesting is carried out by hand during the first week of October.

Fermentation lasts approximately ten days in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with daily pump-overs, followed immediately by malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for six months in large casks, then completes its refinement with a further six months in bottle in the underground cellar. It has a bright ruby-red colour with garnet reflections. The bouquet shows red fruit, raspberry, apricot and cherry, enriched by delicate violet notes. On the palate, it is warm, delicately dry and well balanced, with pleasant tannins, good body and a lingering cherry finish. This versatile Nebbiolo pairs well with starters, first courses, meat-based main courses, and fresh or moderately aged cheeses.

The story
The estate was founded in 1958 when Crissante Alessandria, together with his wife Teresa, decided to vinify the grapes from the family vineyards, which until then had been sold to other wineries in the Langa. Over the years the property expanded its vineyards on La Morra’s best exposures; management has remained family-run and today is led by Michele Alessandria, with the involvement of his sons Alberto and Luca.
Production philosophy
Production rooted in the traditions of the region: use of native grape varieties, traditional winemaking with extended fermentations, and careful ageing in wooden vessels of varying sizes to respect the specific characteristics of each wine.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate’s vineyards are located in the municipality of La Morra, in the Capalot, Galina and Roggeri vineyards. The winery and family residences are situated in the hamlet of Santa Maria Borgata Roggeri.
