Langhe Rosso is an austere wine obtained from NEBBIOLO, BARBERA and DOLCETTO grapes, vinified separatedly and later assembled. With the accurate ageing process, in wood for one year, we can obtain a strong wine, warm, with a pleasant tannic sensation but with a pleasantness typical of an all-round wine. Nebbiolo’s important tannin is softened by the light acidity of Barbera and by Dolcetto’s freshness: a combination of high esteem and quality.
