Descrizione

The Nebbiolo Langhe DOC 2023 produced by Fortemasso perfectly represents the elegance and complexity one can expect from a wine of this prestigious denomination. This red wine stands out for its garnet red color typical of Nebbiolo, with shades that tend to orange with aging.

On the nose, Fortemasso's Nebbiolo Langhe DOC 2023 exhibits a rich and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, particularly cherries and raspberries, emerge, accompanied by floral hints of rose and violet, enriched by spicy sensations and a light touch of vanilla, evidence of its elegant passage in wood.

On the palate, the wine is structured but balanced, with finely woven tannins that promise good aging potential. The acidity is well integrated, providing vital support for the freshness and drinkability that distinguish Nebbiolo Langhe DOC.

This wine is an excellent choice to accompany red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. It is advisable to open the bottle a few hours before serving to allow the wine to fully express its aromatic potential. An authentic expression of the Langhe terroir, this Nebbiolo is ideal for those who appreciate wines with character and depth.

Winery history

In 2013 the Gussalli Beretta family acquired the Fortemasso estate in Castelletto, Monforte d’Alba, launching a project to enhance high-quality vineyards for the production of wines from the great appellations of the Langhe. The estate was renovated to blend traditional features with contemporary interiors, while the cellar was arranged in underground spaces to preserve the surrounding landscape and optimize the winemaking and aging processes.

Production philosophy

Strong focus on vineyard work and limited intervention in the cellar: the winemaking philosophy aims to preserve varietal and terroir characteristics, adopting a "light touch" during winemaking and making use of a cellar designed for sustainability and to control aging conditions.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. The Castelletto parcels lie on steep slopes with predominantly sandy and calcareous soils and have varying aspects; some areas are between 360 and 450 m a.s.l, others between 300 and 350 m a.s.l. The combination of soil and microclimate produces the mineral, elegant wines typical of the area.

Awards and recognitions

Fortemasso has received national and international recognition: among these are awards and mentions in guides and competitions such as Decanter, Mundus Vini and awards/recognition from Italian guides such as Gambero Rosso.
