Langhe Nebbiolo Doc Fortemasso Italie, 2022

Fortemasso Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2022 is a refined expression of one of Piedmont’s most iconic grapes, offering the elegance and structure Nebbiolo lovers look for in a more approachable style than Barolo or Barbaresco. Sourced from the Langhe, it combines freshness, fine tannins, and classic regional character in a wine that reflects the long-standing prestige of Nebbiolo in northwest Italy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby hue with light garnet reflections, hinting at the grape’s graceful evolution. The nose is lifted and aromatic, with notes of red cherry, rose petal, violet, dried herbs, and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and precise, with juicy red fruit, firm but polished tannins, lively acidity, and a savoury finish that gives the wine its classic Nebbiolo identity. The 2022 vintage is likely to be approachable in its youth, while still retaining enough structure to develop additional nuance with a few years of cellaring. Over time, the floral and fruit-driven profile may evolve toward more complex aromas of leather, tobacco, and dried spices.

Production
Produced in Piemonte’s Langhe area, this wine comes from a terroir well suited to Nebbiolo, where hillside vineyards and the region’s mix of clay, marl, and limestone soils help shape aromatic intensity and firm structure. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and varietal precision. Vinification is carried out to emphasize purity of fruit and the grape’s natural tension, with careful extraction and maturation designed to soften the tannins while maintaining a distinctly traditional profile.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent partner for Piedmont-style dishes and other flavourful, savoury foods. Try it with mushroom risotto, tagliatelle with ragù, roasted veal, braised beef, game birds, or aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromas and tannins to open up.
