Cerretta

2008 Langhe Nebbiolo

The Conterno Cerretta 2008 is a stunning example of Nebbiolo from the esteemed Langhe region. This red wine exhibits a beautifully garnet color, hinting at its maturity. On the palate, it showcases its full-bodied character enhanced by a vivid acidity that brings brightness and energy to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of dark cherry and ripe plum complemented by underlying earthy undertones and hints of rose petals. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth, ensuring a long and satisfying finish. While this wine carries a delightful richness, it remains beautifully dry, making it an outstanding choice for those seeking a classic expression of Nebbiolo from the Langhe.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
