Cordero di Montezemolo 2024 Nebbiolo Langhe

Refined, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, the 2024 Nebbiolo Langhe from Cordero di Montezemolo captures Nebbiolo’s signature elegance in a more accessible, early-drinking style. It offers floral lift, bright red fruit, and polished tannins with unmistakable Piedmontese character.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by Cordero di Montezemolo, one of Piedmont’s historic estates with deep roots in Barolo, this Nebbiolo Langhe is sourced from younger vines and select parcels surrounding the Barolo zone. The wine is crafted to express Nebbiolo’s purity without the extended aging requirements of Barolo or Barbaresco.

The 2024 vintage reflects careful vineyard management and precise harvesting to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. Traditional fermentation methods are employed, followed by aging primarily in stainless steel and large neutral oak to maintain varietal expression while gently rounding the structure. The result is a wine that honors classic Nebbiolo tradition while remaining supple and approachable.
