Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

This is becoming so bloody hard to get I can’t justify tasting a bottle! 3 bottle limit on these .. sorry, gotta share the love.

Burlotto Langhe typically looks great young. Everything is there, and, in all the right places. It just needs some time to resolve. This is a typically a 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.

“The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is laced with crushed raspberry, mint, kirsch, orange peel and spice. Effusive and inviting, the 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is a real gem. In 2020, Burlotto did not bottle their Barolo Acclivi. The best blocks were added to this blend.”
