Full disclosure: I’m a sucker for Langhe Nebbiolo. For me, it conveys the alluring ying/yang of fruit and savory nuances of Nebbiolo without the need for bottle aging like Barolo or Barbaresco. It is often my go-to category at a restaurant. With a balanced combination of fruit and earth, Franco Serra’s mid-weight Langhe Nebbiolo fits the bill nicely. The mild tannins provide contrast and support for the fruit without being intrusive, while bright acidity keeps it appealing throughout a meal. Drink now with hearty pasta.
