Livia Fontana – Fontanin – Nebbiolo 2021, Barolo DOCG – Piemonte, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
100% Nebbiolo sourced from vineyards around Castiglione Falletto in the Barolo DOCG. A classic expression of Nebbiolo showing the grape’s aromatic intensity, bright acidity, and structural elegance typical of the Langhe hills.

Aromas & Flavors
Highly aromatic with lifted notes of rose petals and tart red fruits. Cherry, cranberry, and subtle earthy undertones emerge with aeration.

Medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and firm yet refined tannins. Elegant structure with a smooth and persistent finish.

A beautifully aromatic Barolo that highlights Nebbiolo’s classic rose and red-fruit profile while remaining approachable and expressive.

🍷 Personal Pick
Aromatic, elegant, and delicious, rose-driven Nebbiolo at its finest.

The best Barolo at Da Fabiana, Bossolaschetto, Piedmonte with the three Cubans. 95 euros. Complex, big, quite elegant. However, the Langhe Nebbiolo last night might be better, forgive me. Curly really liked it. — 6 months ago
