2025 Bel Colle Langhe Nebbiolo
This must be one of the best value entries into the world of Piedmont in the country.
While Nebbiolo is famous for the stern, long-ageing bottles of Barolo, the Langhe DOC is all about accessibility and immediate pleasure. Bel Colle - now under the guidance of the Bosio family - farms these steep hills with a focus on sustainability, avoiding herbicides and systemic treatments to keep the fruit as pure as possible.
The 2025 release is a vibrant, fresh-faced Nebbiolo that trades heavy tannins for pure drinkability. It’s fermented in stainless steel to lock in those high-toned aromatics: think fresh raspberries, cherries, and a classic hint of violet. The tannins are present but soft and velvety, giving the wine enough shape to handle food without requiring years in a cellar to mellow out.
For the price, it’s one of the most honest and drinkable Nebbiolos on the market.
"Fresh, elegant and exactly the kind of wine that makes an ordinary week feel considerably better."
- Jeff Porter (Wine Enthusiast)
