Description
The Marchese d’Azeglio Langhe DOC Nebbiolo wine is a ruby-red wine with light garnet nuances. It is made in the sunny vineyards located in the heart of the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, a highly suited area for the cultivation of Nebbiolo.
The vineyards are located in the southwest, on shallow soils, rich in clay and limestone. Thanks to a never extreme microclimate, it allows the vines to grow in a moderately luxuriant way, giving an optimal ripening of the bunches.
Marchese d’Azeglio Langhe DOC Nebbiolo ages for 8 months in French oak barrels and at least 6 months in the bottle.
The resulting wine is spicy, full of ripe red fruits, with a dry, savoury, extraordinarily pleasant taste.
