Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 Azienda Agricola Lalù

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (92)

The Lalù 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo is fragile and delicate in the best sense, opening to floral aromas of violet and light red fruit carried by a transparent and graceful frame. The palate is finely textured and fresh, shaped by restrained extraction and a short maceration. Blended from east-facing vineyards in La Morra and sandy soils in Bussia Bovi, this Nebbiolo captures the contrast between marl-driven elegance and lighter, more ephemeral structure.

The 2023 allies the freshness and drinkability of contemporary Langhe Nebbiolo with a heightened level of sophistication. It also exhibits surprising delicacy for such a hot vintage. Scents of strawberry and violet lead to bitter herbs and chinotto on the juicy, red-fruited palate, with linear drive accompanying a lightly powdery, firm texture and concentrated acidity on the finish. From three parcels in the villages of Monforte d’Alba and La Morra, this Langhe Nebbiolo sees a pied de cuve and spontaneous fermentation with some whole berries. It is refined predominantly in cement to avoid extracting too much wood.
