From the limestone-rich Starderi cru in Neive, the 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo is made with fruit from the younger vines (approximately ten years old). The wine is generous and round with simple fruit delivery. The wine's ripeness is a distraction, as this hot vintage has evidently taken the greatest toll on the youngest vines. That ripeness goes beyond the ripe style championed by La Spinetta. This wine is well-suited to those who like the softer and sweeter side of Nebbiolo.
