Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo 2017

Garnet red with variable intensity depending on the vintage. Delicate and pleasant, the predominant notes are of raspberry and violet, with the imposition of secondary perfumes very similar to those of Barolo as it ages. A complete and temptingly harmonious wine the elegance of which makes up for its lesser structure compared with that of Barolo. It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18- 20°C (64-68°). Food Pairings: A wine for drinking with all courses of a meal, it offers its best expression when served with rich and tasty dishes, from fresh pasta with rich meat or vegetables sauces, to grilled or roast red meat dishes. It is also excellent with soft and delicate blue cheeses.

92 Points - James Suckling

A very impressive array of blueberries, raspberry tea and ripe strawberries. The medium-bodied palate is quite soft and supple, though, and it ends medium-long and medium to very chewy.

The 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo should offer that same value. This is an elegant, refined take on Nebbiolo, with bright and tonic fruit that just makes it a fun wine. The grapes used are from a selection of sites located in Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba. Starting with the 2018 vintage next year, the blend will also see fruit from a vineyard in Alba with white soils. There's an easy structure to the Langhe Nebbiolo, a freshness and very bright appearance that area easy to love. For this one, see if you can get your hands on some Bra sausage.
