Appellation: Langhe Nebbiolo
The Baluma is a wine grown at an altitude of 500 meters, in west facing vineyards. The soils are a mix of clay, tuff and calcareous marl. After macerating for 8 to 10 days on the skins, the wine is matured for six months in 500L oak barrels. You will find ripe strawberries and cherries, combined with a light floral note on the nose, and a juicy palate with just the right amount of tannins to give this wine the structure to balance the fruitiness.
"A fresh and spicy style, the 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Baluma is ripe with notes of cherry candies, licorice, and pressed roses. The palate is approachable and has fine tannins, with a light savory finish to balance out its otherwise fruity nature. Drink over the near term."
