Winemaker Notes
The unique terroir gives the final wine a ruby-red color with light, garnet highlights and a bouquet with hints of violet and red fruit. It has balanced tannins and good structure that is velvety and harmonic on the palate.
Langhe doc Nebbiolo Marghe has a pleasing palate and velvety flavor that pairs well with substantial first courses and red meats.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo Marghe offers a soft and fragrant expression of this beautiful grape from Piedmont. This informal wine opens to bright ruby-garnet color and shows lean-body appeal. The fruit is on the sweet side (or at least the sweet side of Nebbiolo) with cassis and dried raspberry. The tannins are absolutely integrated and this wine drinks perfectly right now. If you are new to Nebbiolo, this is an extremely likable wine. You really can't beat this excellent value. With 70,000 bottles made, buy this wine by the case.

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.
