2023 Montaribaldi Gambarin Langhe Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo DOC Gambarin is a young red wine made from the noble Nebbiolo grape, and at Montaribaldi, they know better than anyone how to make fantastic wines from it, as they are the masters of terroir wines. The vineyard is located in the municipality of Treiso, at an altitude of 250-330 meters and is almost 40 years old. Nebbiolo is a late-ripening grape variety and is harvested by Montaribaldi no earlier than the first week of October. Once in the winery, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, then placed in stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place. Alcoholic fermentation lasts about a week at a temperature of 26-28°C. Then, and very important for Nebbiolo, the wine is left to rest for 3 to 4 months at a low temperature to facilitate the deposition of cloudiness and clarification. Simply by giving the wine time, there's no need for all sorts of tricks to clarify it. After this period, the Nebbiolos are aged in oak barrels. This is done in both one-year-old and two-year-old 225-liter (50%) barrels, as well as large oak barrels (2,500-3,000 liters, 50%). The oak aging lasts 8-12 months. After this period, the wine spends a few more months in the Montaribaldi cellars, before we can finally enjoy it.

With the Nebbiolo DOC Gambarin, nothing is rushed, and everything is done with minimal intervention. This is a very pleasant wine with the elegance of its bigger brother, the Barolo. It has a brilliant ruby-red color with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is broad and fruity, with hints of violets and raspberries, perfectly blended with a certain spice. The oak adds a touch of cachet without being overpowering. On the palate, the wine is fresh and fruity, with soft and delicate tannins. The Gambarin is an ideal wine to enjoy by the fire, on the patio, and perfectly paired with food. Delicious with a barbecue, pizza, and red pasta dishes.
