G. B. Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2023

The hidden face of the great Langa grape, overshadowed by the overwhelming force of the classics, born already armed for a renunciation of youth in the name of triumphant self assurance. Here is, instead, the youth of Nebbiolo, unexpected, brilliant and memorable: it does not have the weight of the great wines, but it brings as a gift its precious, intimate clarity.

Grape variety: Nebbiolo

"Showing a point of extra ripeness or softness, this is an accessible expression from Comm. G.B. Burlotto. The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo reveals a transparent soul with small berry aromas and easy brightness. Violet, lilac and candied orange peel dovetail into crushed stone and pencil shaving. The effect is simple, but this is one of the bottles you'll enjoy most within the wide and somewhat unruly world of Langhe Nebbiolo."  Wine Advocate 92
