Palladino 2022 Nebbiolo d'Alba represents one of the most sincere and immediately compelling interpretations of the Nebbiolo grape in the Langhe region. Ruby in color with subtle garnet highlights, it opens on the nose with delicate aromas of cherry, wild raspberry, and violet, rooted in an earthy undertone and a subtle hint of licorice. On the palate, it is elegant and harmonious, with soft yet present tannins, lively acidity, and a savory finish reminiscent of red fruits and sweet spices. It is a well-structured wine, enjoyable to drink today but also with considerable potential for development in the years to come.

 Conventional Production Method : The grapes are 100% Nebbiolo , sourced from the company's vineyards in the Alba area. The harvest is done manually with careful selection of the bunches. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with maceration for approximately 15 days ; after which malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine ages for 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels , followed by a brief period in the bottle before release. This technique allows us to preserve the balance of the fruit and the typical elegance of Nebbiolo.

 Pairings: It pairs well with medium-bodied dishes: mushroom risotto, roast lamb, light braised meats, roast white meats, moderately intense red meats, and semi-mature cheeses. A versatile wine to accompany lunches and dinners with character.
