Valmaggiore

2012 Langhe Nebbiolo

The Orlando Abrigo Valmaggiore is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Langhe region, showcasing its distinctive red hue. This 2012 vintage exudes a medium-bodied profile that seamlessly balances the wine's structure and elegance. The acidity is bright and mouthwatering, perfectly complementing the prominent fruit intensity, which reveals alluring notes of cherry, rose petals, and hints of earthy undertones. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a solid backbone that allows for aging potential while still being approachable. This wine is bone dry, making it an excellent companion for rich dishes and a delightful example of the craftsmanship found in Langhe's acclaimed vineyards.

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.
