On the palate, it is substantial, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e and a refined acidity that leads to a clean finish. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet of grapefruit, tomato leaf and lemon zest, enriched by hints of pear, yellow plum and flint notes. The skilful use of wood imparts \u003cstrong\u003earomatic complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e and structure, while preserving the freshness and identity of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Piedmont, the vineyards are located in the municipalities of Mango and Treiso, at an altitude of 400 metres. The high elevation and \u003cstrong\u003esouthern exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure balanced ripening and excellent acidity. The soil is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, an ideal matrix for imparting pronounced savouriness to the glass. Production comes from an area of just two hectares, a \u003cstrong\u003elimited yield\u003c\/strong\u003e that demonstrates the great care devoted to viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter harvesting, vinification involves fermenting the must in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing takes place in the same containers for eighteen months, a choice that enhances the wine’s texture and highlights its fruit. This is followed by a six-month rest in the bottle, essential for defining the \u003cstrong\u003eacid tension\u003c\/strong\u003e and expressive harmony. Thanks to this production method, the wine is elegant and suitable for those following a \u003cstrong\u003evegan diet\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced since 1999, \u003cstrong\u003eLanghe Bianco\u003c\/strong\u003e by La Spinetta is an outstanding Sauvignon, made famous by its historic label featuring a rhinoceros.

The winery’s artisanal approach results in a very limited annual production, enhanced by eighteen months of maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak\u003c\/strong\u003e and a period of bottle ageing that consolidates its vibrant harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"La Spinetta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46419906035883,"sku":"61036","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/la-spinetta-langhe-bianco-2023_61036_1_ab547a16-e494-4a88-a05c-9b53ce2f293e.webp?v=1779380810","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/la-spinetta-langhe-bianco-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
