Marchisio Family Organic Estate Mungalat Langhe Nebbiolo 2022
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThe Marchisio family has been growing vines in Roero since the late 19th century. This organic nebbiolo comes off 15-25 year old vines rooted in the sandy calcareous marls of Tenuta Ca' du Russ. After a short maceration, this was native fermented and aged up to 1 year in large oak barrels. Wild cherry, juicy plums, and scrubby resinous herbs infiltrate this youthful nebbiolo, still showing the authentic rawness of the grape's inherent tannins, all lofted with easy elevated acidity. Partner this little charmer with roast root veg / pork / wild mushroom pizza to meet the tannins.Tasted: 18 November 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $45.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
