Lalu Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 750ml

LALÙ Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 is an elegant and aromatic Italian red wine produced by Azienda Agricola Lalù, founded by Lara Rocchetti and Luisa Sala. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in La Morra and Monforte d'Alba, this wine showcases the refined aromatic character, freshness and distinctive structure of the Nebbiolo grape.
The wine is produced from two distinctive vineyard sites: Roncaglie in La Morra and Bussia Bovi in Monforte d'Alba. Roncaglie sits at approximately 400 metres above sea level, with cool conditions and clay-rich soils that contribute freshness and structure. Bussia Bovi, located at approximately 320 metres, features sandy soils that encourage aromatic expression, supple fruit and delicacy.
The grapes are carefully handled using a combination of whole-cluster and destemmed fermentation techniques. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, helping preserve the natural freshness and aromatic purity of the fruit. The wine is subsequently matured for approximately eight months in Austrian oak vats, developing additional texture and complexity while maintaining its elegant fruit profile.
The resulting wine is beautifully perfumed, displaying expressive aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, dried rose petals and delicate herbs. On the palate, vibrant acidity, fine tannins and fresh red fruit create a balanced and graceful drinking experience.
With its combination of floral aromatics, refreshing acidity and refined structure, LALÙ Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 is an excellent introduction to the character of Piedmont Nebbiolo and a versatile companion to Italian cuisine.
