2 BOTTLES OF LANGHE LONG NOW DOC, 2018, PELISSERO, PIEDMONT, ITALY
50% Barbera, 50% Nebbiolo. Aged in small oak barrels for 15-18 months, then in bottle for 10-12 months. Varietal scent and aroma of ripe fruit, blackberry, raspberry and red cherry framing to the slightly fragrance of vanilla. The explosion comes in the mouth, where it is open, full-bodied, velvety and all-embracing. The savour and elegance of the two varietals combine excellently and appear at their best expression; the pleasantness of an unforgettable taste. Pairs well with pork, game and
matured cheese.
