Tasting Notes
An organic, equal-parts blend of Nebbiolo from Lalù’s two estate sites, this is a beautifully perfumed and finely tuned expression. Fruit from the cool, east-facing Roncaglie parcel in La Morra brings tension, lift and a clay-driven depth, while the sandier Bussia Bovi block in Monforte contributes supple red fruit and gentle aromatic charm. Mostly destemmed with whole berries retained for a touch of semi-carbonic lift, the wine was fermented in concrete, with Bussia raised entirely in tank and Roncaglie matured in large foudre. The result is a vivid, translucent style showing red cherry, anise and sarsaparilla, framed by bright acidity and a neatly woven tannin profile. It’s expressive yet tightly coiled, rewarding a decant or a few hours of air to reveal its purity and quiet complexity. - Aaron C
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
