Damilano Langhe Nebbiolo 'Marghe' 2023
Introduction
This red wine is from Italy, specifically the Langhe region of Piedmont, an area famous for its noble Nebbiolo grape. It is produced by Damilano, a historic winery that has been dedicated to Nebbiolo for four generations. The Damilano family has deep roots in the municipality of La Morra. The winery is recognized for its meticulous approach to winemaking and its focus on single-vineyard expressions of Barolo.
The Langhe Nebbiolo 'Marghe' serves as the entry point to the estate's Nebbiolo offerings. It is an approachable expression of the varietal, crafted to be enjoyed young, while still retaining the structure and elegance characteristic of the grape. The name 'Marghe' is derived from a family connection.
Wine Description
'Marghe' is 100% Nebbiolo. It presents a bright garnet-red colour.
The bouquet is delicate, yet intense, offering classic Nebbiolo aromas of red fruit like raspberry and cherry, complemented by floral notes of rose and violet. Subtle hints of anise, rhubarb, and tar may also appear.
On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and full-bodied. It provides a full, silky mouthfeel. The flavours are consistent with the nose, featuring tart red cherry, liquorice, and dried herbs. It is characterized by notable freshness and firm, well-integrated tannins that provide structure. The finish is long and persistent. The grapes are sourced from various vineyards in the Langhe area. The wine is aged for 12 months in large French oak barrels (traditionally 20-30HL barrels), followed by 6 months in bottle. It is meant to be drunk young, but it offers complexity and great balance.
