The wine leaps out of the glass, scintillating notes of Maraschino cherry and wild strawberry, orange and anise, with hints of black pepper and potting soil. The palate is pure silk, with waves of red and orange fruits and a bouquet of roses. Elegant touches of all-spice, nutmeg, and fennel grace the finish.

If this is a preview of Piedmont wines to come in 2024, we're excited, and happy to have this on hand while we wait. Serve with steaks and stews, roasted birds, squash, and mushroom risottos.

"The 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo pours a bright red color and opens with fresh aromas of raspberries and dusty earth in a beautifully classic expression of the vintage. Medium-bodied, it is balanced and refreshing, with fine tannins and snappy notes of orange peel that carry through the finish." 92 points Jeb Dunnuck
