WINE DESCRIPTION
Ruggeri Corsini Langhe Nebbiolo is a captivating expression of the prestigious Monforte d’Alba region. Nestled in the east-facing slopes at 430 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from clay-limestone soils of the Elveziano formation, ideal for producing Nebbiolo of distinction. With vines aged 23-25 years and planted at a density of 5,000 plants per hectare, the manual harvest ensures meticulous care in every bottle. After a week-long maceration and four daily pump-overs, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, imparting structure and finesse. This artisanally crafted wine showcases Ruggeri Corsini’s commitment to quality and tradition, offering a true reflection of Langhe’s rich terroir and winemaking heritage.

Flavors of dark cherry, licorice, and leather mingle with subtle notes of tobacco and earth. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering hint of spice. An excellent expression of Langhe Nebbiolo.
