Erbaluna, Nebbiolo Langhe DOC, red, organic wine,  2018, from € 14.20

Nebbiolo is the grape from which Barolo wine is made. But in particularly good years, such as 2018, the Erbaluna Nebbiolo Langhe comes very close to them in terms of quality. Of course, it has not matured that long and therefore  it looks fresher, more youthful. The typical properties of the variety are shown to their best advantage.
