Despite challenging growing conditions that affected many producers, Gianfranco Alessandria's 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo stands as a testament to skillful winemaking. This elegant expression showcases dark berry notes interwoven with delicate rose petals and bright citrus undertones, all refined through careful aging in neutral oak. The wine avoids the heavier, overripe character seen in the previous vintage, instead offering a more restrained and sophisticated profile. A limited production of just 6,000 bottles makes this a noteworthy selection for those seeking quality Nebbiolo from a challenging year.
