Aldo Conterno's Langhe Nebbiolo is essentially their basic Barolo. This is 100% Nebbiolo from Aldo Conterno's different vineyards in Bussia.  This “baby Barolo” is sourced from younger (max 15 years) vines. Skin contact is limited to 6-8 days to extract less tannin and more color from the skin, resulting in a well-colored wine with remarkable softness. There's power, grace, medium body, mouthwatering acidity, and fine silky tannins. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, oak, tobacco, leather, smoke, licorice, clove, and hints of anise stimulate the palate. The profile is light, with amazing balance. This is an unbelievable example of great Nebbiolo, and shows the quality of icon producer Aldo Conterno. Pairs with a wide variety of foods from roast chicken to pasta with red sauce to steak.
