Lalu Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 750ml

LALÙ Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 is an elegant and expressive 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, Piedmont, this wine showcases the refined aromatic character, freshness and delicate structure of the Nebbiolo grape.
The wine comes from selected vineyard parcels, including Roncaglie in La Morra and Bussia Bovi in Monforte d'Alba. Roncaglie sits approximately 400 metres above sea level, with east-facing exposure and clay-rich soils that contribute freshness and structure. Bussia Bovi, located around 320 metres above sea level, features sandy soils that encourage aromatic expression, supple fruit and delicacy.
The grapes are carefully harvested and vinified using a combination of whole-cluster and destemmed fermentation techniques. Approximately half the grapes undergo whole-cluster fermentation, while the remainder are destemmed. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, followed by approximately eight months of maturation in Austrian oak vats and concrete vessels, depending on the vineyard parcel.
The resulting wine is beautifully aromatic, revealing delicate notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, violet and dried rose petals, complemented by fresh herbs and subtle spice. On the palate, vibrant acidity, translucent red fruit and fine-grained tannins create an elegant, fresh and harmonious drinking experience.
With its combination of floral aromatics, refined texture and refreshing acidity, LALÙ Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 is an excellent introduction to contemporary Piedmontese winemaking and a versatile companion to Italian cuisine.
