2023 Az. Agr. Fratelli Cigliuti Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, ItalyABOUT THIS WINE The Nebbiolo in this wine actually comes from Bricco di Neive vineyards in Barbaresco, Piedmont. It just does not go through the minimum aging of 2 years for "Barbaresco" so the wine is considered a Langhe. The vines grow on guyot espalier vines, and the wine is aged in stainless steel and Slavonian oak barrels. Pair this wine with pasta with meat sauces, fried or mixed grills, and medium aged cheeses.
