This is a pure and unmasked expression of Nebbiolo that gives you an idea of the quality of the higher-denomination wines (like Barolo) we can look forward to when the 2016 vintage is released. Barolo is released four years after the harvest, but Langhe Nebbiolo is a much more flexible category that can hit the market as soon as the producer feels the wine is ready. There are fewer strings attached. The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Prinsiòt is endowed with generous primary fruit, but those berry and cherry aromas are released with elegant intensity. Ten months in large oak casks has contributed to the structure and the depth you get here. Some 10,000 bottles were made. Drink: 2018-2024 (Sep18)
