The 2012 Langhe Giarborina is the same wine Altare previously sold as Langhe Arborina, but now sold under a different name now that regulations forbid the use of a vineyard name for Langhe Nebbiolos. Sweet red-fleshed berries, orange peel. tobacco, mint and crushed flowers come together in a very pretty wine that captures the essence of this La Morra site. The 2012 is already quite open and expressive but it also has the pedigree to drink well for another 10-15 years, perhaps longer.
0.2 Ha holdings in Arborina, one of the most famous crus of La Morra, vineyards planted in 1948. A selection of the best grapes are fermented on the skins for four days in rotary fermenter, aged 18 months in new French barrique. Production: 1,000 bottles.
