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

100% Nebbiolo. Fermented in stainless steel. Aged 8 months in large neutral barrels.

Dreaming of one day being able to produce Barolo, the Faccenda family purchased this winery in 2003. The vineyards lie just outside of Monforte, the vines are 30/40 years old, the soil of limestone composition.

Guidobonos wines are textbook interpretations of the indigenous grapes of the Langhe. Fruit driven, juicy, soft and rich the two Barbera, austere yet approachable the Nebbiolo, structured and traditional the Barolo.

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.s.
