Azelia Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

''The Azelia 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo reveals a delicate fibre and soft intensity with cassis and forest berry. This vintage offers terrific, food-friendly fruitiness and just enough acidity to cut through an easy butter or cheese-based dish. This is a lovely, delicate expression of Nebbiolo.'' 91 Points, Wine Advocate Magazine

"The transformation at Azelia over the last handful of years has been nothing short of extraordinary. That's not to say the wines weren't compelling before. They were, and they also aged well. But recent vintages have really gone to another level. Since 2014 these wines have gone into a direction of extreme finesse. These wines are spectacular." Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

The Azelia Langhe Nebbiolo is a wine that smells and tastes like Barolo; without the price tag, but the tannin and acid are much softer. How does this happen you ask? Easy, all of the grapes come from younger vines in Castiglione Falletto & Serralunga d’Alba, two of Barolos most prized terroirs. Only 800 cases produced annually (tiny for Langhe Nebbiolo!)
