LANGHE ROSSO
“LUIGI EINAUDI”DOC
A high quality wine which improves over the years, of intense garnet red colour, with a pleasing aroma of cooked plums and blackberries, with an underlying hint of vanilla. It has a full body, a rich tannic structure, soft with an intense fruity taste and a balanced, elegant, spiced final note. The fact that it comes from Cabernet, Merlot, Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes, cultivated by the Einaudi estates in Barolo and Dogliani, influences the distinct Piedmontese character of this wine.
The annual production is of 4.500 bottles.
