Langhe Nebbiolo
This is Nebbiolo straight from the Ovello cru — the very ground where Barbaresco was born — but here it’s left untouched by wood, fermented and finished entirely in steel to keep every ounce of its brightness intact. No two years in an oak barrel waiting patiently. No cellar sentence. Just fruit, allowed to be exactly what it is.
