Winemaker Notes
The wine presents itself with a beautiful, currant red color. Its full nose recalls flowers, raspberries, and blackberries; in the mouth, it is balanced, velvety and enjoyably tannic.
Excellent with pasta dishes with light sauces, white meats, grilled meats, and fresh cheeses.

The warmth of 2023 amplifies Nebbiolo's character, delivering ripe raspberries and wild flowers while maintaining the grape's classic profile. It's energetic and fresh, with crunchy red fruits carried by bright acidity. Fine tannins frame the structure, leading to herbs like bay leaf and thyme. This brings elegance to the table without losing its sense of joy.

A fruity and fragrant wine with pristine aromas of strawberries, red currants, licorice and violets. Supple and graceful at first, then fiercely dusty due to nebbiolo’s tannins. Light-bodied in an overall crunchy style. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Lasarin is a sweetly perfumed and fruity offering with a charming feel, with mixed berries, crushed flowers, and menthol. Medium-bodied, it’s juicy with salty accents and a bit of iron mineral richness on the finish. Drink 2025-2030.
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.
