In the glass, it displays a garnet red colour, while the bouquet is characterised by delicate notes of small red fruits. On the palate, it offers a dry and fresh sip, well supported by a typical \u003cstrong\u003etannic balance\u003c\/strong\u003e. This Langhe is ideal to be enjoyed young, but it also has a solid structure capable of evolving positively in the cellar for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Barbaresco, in a hilly area situated between 230 and 330 metres above sea level. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are essential for giving definition and vigour to the raw material. The vineyards are trained using the \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot system\u003c\/strong\u003e with a density of four thousand vines per hectare. The choice of a limited yield is strategic to preserve the perfect balance between \u003cstrong\u003eripeness and freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring an expressive profile that is authentic and true to its place of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e for about thirty days. The maturation process takes place over twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, using woods of different ages. This stage allows the tannic texture to soften, preparing the wine for the final step: a rest of at least six months in the bottle, which is essential to harmonise every element before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eLanghe Nebbiolo DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the excellence of the Giuseppe Cortese winery, a family-run estate deeply rooted in Barbaresco.
