Tasting Notes

A pale garnet red with hints of ruby at the core, showing the translucency typical of Nebbiolo and youthful brightness. Delicate yet expressive nose, with layers of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal. Subtle hints of anise, white pepper, and dried herbs emerge alongside mineral undertones, adding depth and complexity. 

Medium-bodied with a vibrant acidity that frames flavors of tart cherry, cranberry, and raspberry. The tannins are youthful but refined, bringing structure to the wine without overpowering. Notes of dried violet, tobacco leaf, and a hint of earthy minerality carry through, accentuating the wine’s freshness and finesse.

Lingering and clean finish, with soft tannins and a refined acidity, leaving traces of red fruit and a subtle floral, earthy quality that underscores the wine’s elegance.

About the Wine

The 2023 Guidobono Nebbiolo from Piedmont is a pure expression of Nebbiolo from Italy’s famed Langhe region, showcasing the varietal’s classic profile with an approachable and youthful character. This wine captures the essence of the region's elegance with firm structure and aromatic depth, ideal for lovers of complex, balanced reds.

About the Winery

The Faccenda family has owned Guidobono for twenty years, coaxing delicious and approachable wines from the beautiful hillside vineyards of Piedmont. Their Langhe nebbiolo represents somewhat of an oenological unicorn: classic Piedmontese nebbiolo, with the tannic structure and aromatics that go with it, at a price that screams “Tuesday night!” Macerated for five days in stainless steel, it aged for eight months in large oak casks. More medium-bodied than full, it exudes bright pomegranate as well as cherry fruit, with a touch of cedar spice. Sustainably grown.
