TASTING NOTES FOR Piazzo Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

🍷 Appearance
Bright ruby red with subtle garnet reflections. Classic Nebbiolo colour—elegant rather than dense, showing early development.

👃 Aromas
Fragrant and lifted, with wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry.
Beautiful floral notes of rose and violet are supported by hints of spice, clove and a touch of savoury earthiness.

👅 Palate
Fresh and vibrant, delivering red berry fruits—cherry, cranberry and raspberry.
A lively acid line gives energy, while fine tannins provide structure without overwhelming the fruit.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Medium-bodied with fine, gently grippy tannins typical of Nebbiolo.
The finish is savoury and persistent, with lingering red fruit, spice and subtle earthy complexity.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Langhe Nebbiolo—elegant, aromatic and structured.
More approachable than Barolo or Barbaresco, offering immediate drinkability while still showcasing Nebbiolo’s signature perfume and finesse.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with pasta, risotto, roast meats or mushroom dishes. Also excellent with charcuterie and aged cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously smart Italian red that delivers classic Nebbiolo character without the price tag—perfumed, structured and food-friendly.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want an elegant, Old World-style red that adds sophistication and variety to the lineup.

Cheers
