Langhe Nebbiolo

Italian Regions, Wines

This is pure Nebbiolo from the Fenocchio family’s home turf in the Bussia of Monforte d’Alba, where five generations have farmed since 1864. It’s raised exactly the way Claudio Fenocchio makes everything: the traditional way. Native yeasts, ten days on the skins, and patient rest in steel and large Slavonian oak — no shortcuts, no makeup.

Pairing: Tajarin al ragù, mushroom risotto, or roast pork — anything that loves cherry fruit and a whisper of tar and roses. *Gudron: it is hard to describe in English, but imagine the sweet and herbal notes when someone is tarring a roof from far enough away that it somehow smells good.
