The Nebbiolo della Langhe from Enrico Dellapiana is made from three different parcels of Nebbiolo, with the plots planted in 1976, 2005 and 2012. The wine is given a three week maceration during fermentation and then aged for one year in cask prior to bottling. The 2018 version is pretty ripe, coming in at 14.5 percent octane and offering up a pretty nose of cherries, camphor, woodsmoke, a good base of soil, just a wisp of fresh oregano and a topnote of rose petal. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely soil-driven, with a good core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, tangy and nascently complex finish. This carries its alcohol pretty well and does not show any overt heat on the backend, but it is a young and structured wine and will need a few years in the cellar to start to soften up and blossom. Drink between 2023-2035
