Silvio Giamello 2024 Nebbiolo "Villa Gentiana" Langhe

A graceful and expressive expression of Langhe Nebbiolo, the 2024 Villa Gentiana offers bright red fruit, fine floral perfume, and poised structure. Elegant and balanced, it showcases Nebbiolo’s classic interplay of acidity, spice, and tannin in a style that is both approachable in youth and worthy of short-term cellaring.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Silvio Giamello, a family-owned estate rooted in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, this 2024 Nebbiolo Villa Gentiana reflects the region’s storied terroir. The vineyards face gentle slopes of calcareous clay and marl, benefiting from cool nights and warm days that favor aromatics and balanced phenolic ripeness.

Harvested by hand at optimal maturity, the Nebbiolo grapes were vinified with careful attention to preserving pure fruit expression and varietal elegance. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vessels to maintain aromatic clarity, followed by extended maceration to build refined tannin and color. The wine was matured briefly in large neutral oak casks to integrate structure without overshadowing Nebbiolo’s distinctly bright and floral character.
