The Land
Langhe Nebbiolo draws from the same La Morra territory as Boglietti's Barolos: the same silty clay soils, the same elevation range, the same diurnal temperature swings that define Langhe fruit. The Barolo DOCG is the regulatory category that separates these wines from the Barolo proper, not a different terroir. What Nebbiolo gives from La Morra limestone soils, even without Barolo's 18-month aging requirement, is the characteristic grip, floral lift, and structural acidity that makes this variety unlike anything grown elsewhere on earth.
The Wine
100% Nebbiolo. Fermented at controlled temperature with indigenous yeasts, 10 days maceration with daily plunging and pumping over. Aged 6 months in used botti (large wooden barrels), then briefly in tank before bottling. Unfiltered. 2024 in Piedmont was dry and warm through summer, with good ripening and no significant weather events at harvest; early grower reports describe clean, concentrated fruit. The 2024 Langhe Nebbiolo shows rose petal, fresh cherry, dried herbs, and the characteristic iron-mineral note of La Morra Nebbiolo. The tannins are present but not aggressive at this stage. Better with 30 minutes of air.
The People
Enzo Boglietti founded the estate in 1991 in the modernist camp, making wines designed for early drinking and international palates, learning from his neighbor Roberto Voerzio. The subsequent arc of his career has been a progressive return to tradition: larger casks, reduced extraction, the steccatura post-fermentation technique on the Barolos, no filtration. The Langhe Nebbiolo is the wine most people will buy from Boglietti; the single-vineyard Barolos are the wines that explain why they should. Same hands, same farming, same La Morra fruit. The difference is regulatory category and aging time, not commitment.
Food Pairing
Tajarin with butter and Parmesan, risotto with Barolo and sausage, grilled lamb chops with rosemary, or a plate of local salumi. The acidity cuts through fat; the tannins need protein. One of the most versatile food wines in the store at any price.
We ship wine to most states with a $100 minimum order for shipping. We don't ship spirits nor beer.
Weather shipping advisory: Orders placed during times of extreme heat or extreme cold will be held for no charge until more favorable weather returns.
Piedmont, framed by the Alps in northwestern Italy, is a land of rolling hills and carefully cultivated vineyards. The continental climate, with its cold winters and warm summers, creates prime conditions for the Nebbiolo grape, which dominates much of the region's red wine production. The Langhe area is home to Barolo and Barbaresco, structured red wines known for their complex aromas, firm tannins, and aging potential. While Nebbiolo is the dominant grape of Piedmont, the region also makes interesting white wines like those from Arneis and Timorasso. Alto Piemonte is a separate region in the north with its own distinctive expressions of Nebbiolo, alongside other red grape varietals.
Italy - Piedmont
Nebbiolo, a prestigious grape from Italy's Piedmont region, is celebrated for its profound truffle and rose aromas, complex flavors, and ability to age gracefully thanks to strong acidity and tannins, producing the renowned Barolo and Barbaresco wines.
