Langhe DOC Nebbiolo Coste 2016 Principiano

Ferdinando Principiano's Nebbiolo Coste originates near the Monforte d'Alba area, in the Piedmontese Langa.

The grapes come mostly from the Le Coste vineyard, characterized by 40-year-old vines exposed to the south-east and south-west, and for a smaller share from the Boscareto. The alcoholic fermentation of the must is carried out only by the action of indigenous yeasts. The vinification ends with a 10-month refinement in steel tanks and, subsequently, in the bottle.

The color of this Nebbiolo is clear and bright ruby red. The perfume is marked by a floral imprint reminiscent of rose petals and violet, placed on a background of raspberry and red fruit. In the mouth it turns out to be an elegant but very pleasant wine.

Ideal in accompaniment to a Piedmontese cut of Fassona knife cut and seasoned with a simple drizzle of oil and salt.
