Marchisio's "Mungalat" Langhe Nebbiolo from 2023 is a young and dynamic representation of the noble Nebbiolo grape, known from the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines, but here produced in a style that is more accessible and ready to be enjoyed in its youth.
Flavor profile:
-
Nose: An inviting nose with fresh notes of red cherries, strawberries, and roses, accompanied by a hint of violets and perhaps a hint of spice like cinnamon or cloves.
-
Taste: On the palate, the wine is light to medium in body, with lively acidity and elegant tannins that provide structure without overwhelming. The taste notes reflect the nose with red fruits at the center, complemented by earthy undertones and a subtle spicy finish characteristic of Nebbiolo.
-
Serving: This Nebbiolo is best served at 16-18°C and is an excellent companion to pasta with tomato sauce, lighter meat dishes, or traditional Piedmontese dishes such as "agnolotti del plin".
Winemaking:
"Mungalat" is designed to offer an early insight into Nebbiolo's character without the long aging required by its more famous cousins. The wine is probably aged for a shorter time, either in steel or in large oak barrels to preserve its fruitiness and freshness, making it available more quickly after bottling.
Recommendation:
This 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo from Marchisio is ideal for those who want to explore the unique flavor profile of Nebbiolo without waiting for the long maturation that Barolo wines require. It is perfect for everyday dinners or for those curious to taste Piedmontese wines without venturing into the more complex and expensive Barolos.
