Tasting Note: This Langhe Nebbiolo captures everything we love about Nebbiolo at an unbeatable price. It showcases lively cherry flavors—tart, Bing, and black—with notes of dried herbs and earthy underbrush. Beautifully balanced with elegant tannins and fresh acidity, making each sip irresistibly refreshing. Enjoy this approachable Nebbiolo alongside aged cheeses or rich stews, and taste the value-driven excellence of Franco Serra.
About the Producer: The Sperone family has mastered the art of crafting affordable, quality wines over four generations, building Franco Serra’s reputation as a go-to for value in Piedmont. Working across their 75 acres, the family hand-harvests each grape, giving meticulous attention to quality. After fermentation in stainless steel, this Langhe Nebbiolo spends six months in large oak barrels and an additional three months in bottle, resulting in a refined, ready-to-enjoy wine.
Why It Stands Out: Affordable Nebbiolo, hand-harvested and handled with care—this bottle is a perfect snapshot of Piedmont, delivering quality beyond its price.
Critic Notes:
- "This wine is a case study of what Nebbiolo smells and tastes like. Vibrant and up-front notes of cherry appear in various forms: tart, sweet, Bing, and black. This mélange of cherry flavors combines to make this wine enjoyable from sip one. The wine has a spirit to it that will lift yours as you experience the herbal notes and underbrush found on the palate. The tannins are elegant and acidity perky enough to keep you salivating for more." - 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
