Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Langhe Nebbiolo reveals gorgeous richness in its dried cherries, herbs, flowers and spices. This is a fairly rich Nebbiolo for La Morra, but the wine’s overall sense of balance is simply terrific. This is a fabulous entry-level Nebbiolo. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015.

Parker
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
