WINE DESCRIPTION
Ghemme wines may not be as well-known as those from the Langhe region, but a growing number of connoisseurs are taking notice. And for good reason: Angela and Alberto Arlunno's Ghemme wines are known for their exceptional aging potential and their ability to stand up to the famous, and often much more expensive, Barolo and Barbaresco wines in blind tastings.
