Description
What kind of wine it is
Langhe Nebbiolo by Mirafiore is an organic and vegan red wine that embodies the essence of Piedmontese Nebbiolo. Produced within the Langhe region, it stands out for its garnet red colour enhanced by ruby highlights. The aromatic bouquet, complex and structured, offers notes of black plum and tamarind, enriched by hints of nutmeg and dried tobacco leaves. On the palate, it expresses sweet, enveloping tannins that lead the sip towards a persistent balsamic finish, making it ideal for pairing with meat dishes and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the hills of Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of Piedmont. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between three hundred and four hundred and fifty metres, enjoying an ideal east-south-east exposure. The vines sink their roots into Miocene-Helvetian soils, rich in clay and calcareous marl, which give the wine its typical structure. The agronomic management by Mirafiore ensures consistent ripening and impeccable balance between the various aromatic components.
How it is produced
The vinification process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Subsequently, a submerged cap maceration lasting about twenty days promotes optimal polyphenolic extraction. The wine then matures for twelve months in large oak barrels, followed by a final ageing of six months. This meticulous production method shapes a harmonious organoleptic profile, preserving the natural characteristics of Nebbiolo.
