Ca’ del Baio, Langhe Nebbiolo, Piemonte, Italy 2020
100% Nebbiolo {organic}
TART PLUM & BLOOD ORANGE, GENTLE POTPOURRI, UNOAKED
This youthful take on the famously age-worthy (and reputedly age-demanding) Nebbiolo grape trades in the expected tannic heft for crispness, vibrancy, and approachability. Carefully selecting grapes from a few different plots, Ca’ del Baio has deftly crafted a wine that’s intended for easy drinking. While not light and, in fact, clocking in at 14% alcohol, its mouthwatering acidity makes it a great candidate for serving lightly chilled.
Serving Suggestion: Steak tartare w/ olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Cured meats & rich, creamy cow’s milk cheeses. Slow-roasted whole duck. Linguine w/ kale, capers, & lemon.
