Description
Langhe Nebbiolo 2018 Livia Fontana
Variety: Nebbiolo 100%
Pale ruby red color.
The nose is amazed by intensity and class. Remarkable both for quality and number, they are declined in fruit with plum and black cherry. Followed by flowers and notes more attributable to the earth such as porcini mushrooms and truffles. Wild berries and herbs also court the taster. Clean, luxuriant and fascinating, more than a Nebbiolo, they are typical of a great brother.
On the palate it has a good volume and overall creaminess, with tannins and minerality to give rigor and strength to the structure. The sip has form and substance, so as to be in fact a great wine. From the palate aromas of fruit, bitter roots and fresh fruit reach the nose.
Overall, the Langhe Nebbiolo is a wine that stands out for its overall completeness. Excellent red wine.
Livia Fontana’s company has existed since 1850, but now it is admirably conducted by her and her two children. Lorenzo helps him in commercial terms, while Michele is the author, who rules the field and the cellar.
