2023 Cascina Carlot Langhe Nebbiolo Viu

100% Nebbiolo

Langhe, Piedmont, Italy

Cascina Carlòt is a family-run farm, dedicated to sustainability with a range of genuine wines with undisputed charm. Claudio defines himself as a winemaker, in antithesis to the definition of winemaker, consistent with the typically Piedmontese philosophy according to which wine is made first and foremost in the vineyard and then in the cellar. He has laid the foundations to create a company regulated by the principles of biodiversity, betting on the one hand on hazelnuts and fruit plants, on the other on energy renewables and rainwater collection. VIU' is the name of the vineyard facing the valley, It's called so because of the gorgeous view. This is where this Nebbiolo is made. It has intense ruby red with violet reflexes. Delicate at the nose, with hints of violet and a pleasently spicy background. On the palate it is dry with the right amount of tannins, and a delicate bitterish finish.Pair it with Game such as hare or venison, or riper mature cheese like La Tur or Castelmagno.
