Nadia Curto's Langhe Nebbiolo is a fresh, intense, and well-structured red wine. It features notes of crisp fruit, dried flowers, and subtle balsamic hints, creating a perfect balance between the youthful vibrancy and seriousness typical of Nebbiolo. This wine combines the exuberance and approachability characteristic of wines from La Morra. It is long, persistent, and serves as an excellent companion at the table. With its garnet red color, this wine presents fragrant notes of roses, red fruits, and subtle spices on the nose. The palate is elegant and well-structured, featuring youthful, robust tannins balanced by a pleasant freshness. It pairs perfectly with starters such as carne cruda all’albese and vitello tonnato, as well as pasta dishes, meats, cheeses, and cured meats.

More information

Harvest technique
Organic practices, manual labor, and green harvesting. Manual grape harvesting takes place at the end of September.
Soil
Marne di Sant'Agata Soil, typical of La Morra
Vineyard size
1.3 hectares located in Arborina, La Morra, at an elevation of 360 meters above sea level.
Fermentation
A few days before harvest, small baskets of grapes are collected to create a pied de cuve—a fermentation starter using the natural yeasts present on the grape skins. During fermentation, manual pump-overs and punch-downs are carried out. After about 15 days of maceration, the wine is racked, undergoes malolactic fermentation, and begins aging in wood for approximately one year. It is bottled during the summer without fining or filtration.
Elevage
50% of the wine undergoes necessary aging in large oak barrels for 4 to 8 months, while the remainder is aged in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled during the waning moon phase.
