Cascina Penna-Currado Langhe Nebbiolo Bricco Lago 2023

Thanks to the altitude and cool breezes in this area near Monforte d’Alba, the Nebbiolo grapes ripen slowly and gradually until late in the season, ideally paving the way for the development of rich aromas and fine tannins. Nebbiolo thrives in vineyards with significant temperature variations and cooler nights, so the conditions here give rise to outstanding phenolic ripeness. Five days of cold maceration are followed by 15 days of simple, traditional and non-invasive 100% whole-berry primary fermentation, then five days of post-fermentation submerged-cap maceration. The malolactic fermentation is spontaneous. After a period of barrel ageing, the wine is bottled the following autumn.
