Langhe Nebbiolo Cascina Corte 2010

The wine

This Langhe consists of Nebbiolo grapes harvested in late September and early October. Vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is matured in large casks for 24 months. The wine is then refined for 2 months prior to its sale. It reveals an attractive garnet-red colour, and an intense fragrance consisting of fruity, floral, very slightly herby notes. The tannins are powerful, and form part of what is a direct, racy wine overall. This is a wine which will benefit from ten or so years' keeping and decanting into a carafe before serving.
