Langhe D.O.C. Nebbiolo Arcaplà

A new wine from vintage 2014, the D.O.C. Langhe “Arcaplà” Nebbiolo. This name comes from tradition and from its predecessor, the D.O.C. Langhe Red “Arcaplà” we produced until the vintage 2010 using the ancient technique arcaplé with Nebbiolo grapes (70%) and Barbera grapes (30%).

Today, however, we have chosen to give space to a D.O.C. Langhe Nebbiolo produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes of the estate.
The color is deep ruby. On the nose, a delightful presence of vanilla and spices is accompanied by hints of black currant. Sweet and velvety tannins wrap the mouth and leave a feeling of silky softness in the final.
