This blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera has always been made the same way: It is aged for one year in barrique and always in new oak. In fact, you could say the style veers more toward the so-called "super Tuscan" side of the spectrum rather than that of a traditional Langhe. The 2016 Langhe Arte shows beautiful tones of tobacco and spice with plenty of black, luscious fruit at its core. For years the blend saw 90% Nebbiolo and 10% Barbera, but in this classic vintage the Barbera is up to about 15%.

Beautiful aromas of dark berries, and hints of dark chocolate and some bark. Medium-to full-bodied and tight and focused with taut tannins, pretty fruit and a walnut aftertaste. Drink or hold.
