Langhe DOC Nebbiolo Ebbio 2022

Langhe Nebbiolo Ebbio by Fontanafredda is a sort of a new edition of a traditional style, made actual by a careful wine making. It is produced with Nebbiolo grapes that come from different areas of the Langhe, where the soils are rich in calcareous marl, at medium-high altitudes (200-300 m).

Grapes are usually harvested between 1st and 20th October. Half of the grapes are completely de-stemmed and crushed, while the other half is placed in the steel vat in whole bunches in alternating layers. This is how the fermentation takes place, at a controlled temperature for 10-12 days. Then the solid parts are separated and the wine, once malolactic fermentation has completed, rests in large oak barrels for a short time (4 months).
