On the same soils that produce great Nebbiolo, Barbera expresses a concentration of fruit, calcareous minerality and tannic structure that the Barbera d'Asti of the Asti plains cannot achieve.

On the palate, it is monumental and vertical - massive tannins already beautifully polished by 24 months in French tonneaux, a vibrant, razor-sharp natural acidity that is Nebbiolo's genetic signature and guarantees a lifespan of at least 15-20 years from the vintage, harmonious glyceric sweetness that balances the alcoholic power, and an exceptionally long finish that evolves for minutes in successive waves of fruit, spices, tobacco, and minerality.

The 15000 bottles produced testify that this is the most widely available wine in the Barale range - the one that finds its way into the homes of those who want a serious Nebbiolo without facing the prices and waiting times of Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLanghe Nebbiolo DOC is a designation that has gained increasing respect in recent years - thanks to producers who have stopped treating it as a second-tier wine and have begun making it with the same care reserved for the great denominations. It is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Langhe on calcareous and clay soils, harvested at full ripeness and vinified using traditional fermentation. Aging for 12 months in 500-liter French oak tonneaux - the same vessels used for the Barbera Superiore - adds structure, spicy notes, and tannic roundness, making this Langhe more approachable and immediate than the great age-worthy wines while retaining all the distinctive character of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it already delivers the unmistakable aromas of Nebbiolo - dried rose, cherry, raspberry, spices, light tobacco, and that precise calcareous minerality that is the signature of the Langhe. On the palate, it is lighter and more immediate than the same winery's Barbaresco Pajè - tannins that are present but already well polished, lively natural acidity, and a freshness that makes it exceptionally enjoyable to drink in the first few years after the harvest, with a clean, medium-long finish featuring notes of red fruit, spices, and minerality.
