Langhe Nebbiolo Doc 2021 - Alberto Ballarin

Description

The Langhe Nebbiolo by Cascina Ballarin , a winery located in the heart of the Langhe - more precisely in La Morra - is an intact and true Nebbiolo by virtue of a minimally invasive vinification that prefers the aromatic neutrality of vinification in steel.

With fruity aromas reminiscent of wild strawberry and fresh blackberry , when tasted this wine invests the taste with clear sensations of violet and rose .

A curiosity about the producers: Cascina Ballarin is a family business run since 1924 by the Viberti brothers . So why is it called “Ballarin”?

Because this was the nickname that the family has always had in La Morra and so we wanted to maintain the familiarity of this name for the winery as well.
