Tasting notes
The nose has an enticing note of freshly baked Bakewell tart, all homemade jam and almonds. In the mouth, it's fresh and bright with a fine almond skin appeal. The wine remains fresh throughout with a lovely defining acidity which makes this a great food match.Food match
Crispy duck pancakes; grilled quail; seared salmon or tuna; charcuterie, ham and other cold meats.
Production
Alasia Langhe Nebbiolo is produced from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated in the Langhe hills around the town of Alba in the Piemonte region. The vineyards have a south westerly aspect and are situated at altitudes between 200 and 300m above sea level. The vines have an average age of 30 years. Planting density is 4000 to 4500 vines per hectare and the soil is limestone-clay. Piemonte low Guyot trellis system is used. Grapes are typically hand harvested in early October. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 25 - 30 C; pressed when dry and transferred to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked to a mixture of French oak barrels (40%) and large traditional Piedmont oak vats for 12 months maturation. Finally these two components are blended and bottled.Tasting notes
Sweetly aromatic with hints of roses, tobacco and spices. The palate offers ripe cherry and berry fruits up front, yet finishes with an earthy, lightly toasty, savoury complexity with finely-grained tannins.Food match
Rich meat stew; pasta with fresh pesto, aubergine and smoked bacon.
Tasting notes
A mid-weight Mencia, with gentle but firm tannins balanced by dark cherry and bramble fruit. Fresh acidity drives a decent-length finish and floral and herbal complexity makes this an engaging glass of wine. Generally mid-weight in style but the warmer '22 vintage shows a more generous, full body. Tannins are still balanced but savoury and more full-bodied than usual. A wine that benefits from time in decanter, or to open up in the glass.Food match
Perfect with chicken or light red meat dishes - cooked in wine or with tomato sauces. Or delicious served lightly chilled too!
