Mauro Molino Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

Mauro Molino Langhe Nebbiolo 2018 is a fresh, approachable, and beautifully fragrant Piedmontese red wine that serves as a perfect introduction to the region's noble Nebbiolo grape. Often referred to as Barolo's "little brother," it is crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on calcareous-clay soils, undergoing a short skin maceration and steel tank fermentation to emphasize its bright, youthful fruit profile. The nose opens with a charming, expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and red plums, beautifully accented by classic notes of dried rose petals, violets, and subtle savory herbs. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is exceptionally lively and soft, balancing juicy red fruit flavors with refreshing acidity and gentle, fine-grained tannins.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with porcini mushroom risotto, fresh tomato-based pasta dishes, roasted pork loin, or a cured meat and cheese platter.
