Maturation occured in a mixture of small and medium sized French oak barrels for 8 - 12 months. Bright ruby red with garnet reflections.The bouquet is full and intense with notes of red and black fruits (raspberry & black cherry) and a touch of spice.The palate is round and harmonious showing terrific poise, elegance and balance. The finish shows some fine grained nebbiolo tannins and linger well.
The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo Fralù is delicate and graceful, showing a simple side of the grape but also leaving a series of hints or a trail of bread crumbs to underline the complexity inherent to the variety. The wine is silky and polished, with pretty highlights of cassis, wild cherry, licorice and ash. It is versatile, accessible and leaves a bella figura no matter what the occasion or meal. This release of about 14,000 bottles is a good value.
