This cracking red is Bryan Martin’s tip of the hat to wonderful Langhe rosso, the blend so loved and consumed by Piemonte locals. Once again, he sourced the fruit for this wine from the Bit of Heaven, Shale and Duplex vineyards in Hilltops. This year’s wine comprises 85% Barbera and 15% Nebbiolo from vines rooted in duplex soils of clay and shale. Both parcels fermented as whole berries for 3 to 4 weeks in small, open-top fermenters before being racked to old barriques for 11 months’ maturation. A perfect companion for an autumn braise.

Reviews

“Barbera lends a sweet, cherry fruitiness to this wine and it doesn’t let up much. A nice crisp edge to texture, juiciness at its core, mulberry jubilance comes to play, a touch of choc-liquorice. Faint, Italianate herbal nuance is a boon too. The wine is a little bulbous and sloshy; a sense of fun with that. It feels like something that would be good to drink cold and doesn’t require much brain power to compute. Go forth.”
