A bottle that clearly expresses the philosophy and vision of the winery.

History of the Wine

Nebbiolo has been the most representative grape variety of the Langhe for centuries and remains one of the absolute symbols of Italian viticulture. With Langhe Nebbiolo 2023, Altare presents a contemporary interpretation of the variety while maintaining deep respect for tradition and for Piedmont’s viticultural heritage. This wine comes from a young vineyard that represents the future of the estate’s production while continuing a history that is inseparably linked to the territory. The decision to vinify Nebbiolo in a straightforward and unadorned manner allows the character of the grape to emerge naturally, without unnecessary intervention. The result is a wine that looks toward the future without forgetting its roots, interpreting Nebbiolo with personality, consistency and authenticity.

Vineyard Philosophy

The quality of Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 begins in a young vineyard planted on clay-limestone soils, a combination particularly well suited to the cultivation of Nebbiolo. This type of soil contributes balance, aromatic finesse and depth, all essential elements of the wine’s identity. Vineyard management is focused on preserving vine vitality and promoting balanced grape ripening. Every action in the vineyard is aimed at enhancing the expression of the territory and ensuring maximum fruit integrity. The youthful age of the vines brings energy and vibrancy to the wine, while the terroir contributes complexity and structure. It is an approach that seeks authenticity and precision through careful and respectful viticulture.

Winemaking and Aging

The vinification of Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 follows a minimalist philosophy designed to highlight the varietal characteristics of Nebbiolo. After harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation with approximately three weeks of skin maceration, a period that allows for the extraction of aromas, color and structure while preserving balance and elegance. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to concrete tanks where it ages for approximately thirteen months. The exclusive use of concrete allows for slow and harmonious maturation, preserving the aromatic purity and expressive transparency of the grape variety. The wine is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, fully showcasing the distinctive characteristics of the variety and its remarkable ability to convey the essence of its territory through every aromatic and flavor nuance.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright garnet red with delicate ruby highlights that reflect the wine’s youthful character.

Nose: Elegant and complex aromas of dried rose petals, red berries, cherry, raspberry and subtle spicy and balsamic nuances.

Palate: Agile and energetic while remaining deep and structured, with refined tannins, excellent freshness and a long, harmonious finish.

Food Pairings

Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 finds its ideal place alongside the great dishes of Piedmontese and Italian cuisine. It pairs beautifully with tajarin pasta served with meat ragù, agnolotti del plin, braised meats and a wide range of red meat preparations. Its elegant structure also makes it an excellent companion to lighter game dishes and medium-intensity roasts. Outstanding with aged cheeses and high-quality cured meats, it is equally capable of enhancing traditional recipes and more contemporary cuisine. The combination of freshness, tannic structure and aromatic complexity makes it particularly versatile at the table. A wine capable of accompanying any gastronomic occasion with authority, elegance and natural ease.
