Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

True to Burlotto Langhe form. This is looking young but great. Everything is there, and, in all the right places. It just needs some time to resolve and it will be a mighty wine! The harmony will come. My previous note for the wine applies. Adding the vintage overlay, there is perhaps something a little special happening with the tannins this year, they appear to have and extra layer of depth. A promising sign for the 2019 vintage!

This is a very sophisticated wine, with bags of personality. Bold tannins, some might few them as slightly rustic. I love them, they’re gagging for a steak! Complemented by a lovely, feminine perfume, spice, and vibrant fruit, like all good wines, vibrancy and purity shine through.

If you want a traditional style vs a modern style this is your traditional and a perfect example. Crack one, drink it over a few night to watch it evolve, or, give it a good splash in a decanter.

I while ago I wrote an article about the 2013 Vintage in Barolo and Barbaresco with a few tips about getting ahead of the curve by tasting Langhe Nebbiolo a couple of years ahead of the Barolo & Barbaresco releases. It’s a great way to gauge the quality of a vintage.
