Castello di Neive Langhe DOC Pinot Nero, Piedmont, Italy

The Castello di Neive Langhe DOC Pinot Nero demonstrates that the Langhe region is not exclusively Nebbiolo territory. Pinot Nero, the Italian name for Pinot Noir, thrives here on calcareous soils and in a hilly landscape that ensures slow ripening and aromatic refinement. What makes Pinot Nero from the Langhe interesting? The combination of Italian sunshine and cool nights yields ripe fruit while preserving fresh acidity and elegance.

This wine falls under the Langhe DOC and is made entirely from Pinot Nero.

Origin: Langhe, Piedmont

The vineyards are located in the hills around Neive, in the heart of the Langhe.

Langhe DOC: broad appellation within Piedmont.
Hilly terroir: supports balanced ripening.
Calcareous marl soils: contribute to finesse and structure.

These conditions result in Pinot Nero with aromatic precision and refined tannins.

Grape and vinification

Pinot Nero – Langhe, Piedmont
Pinot Nero is known for its thin skin and sensitivity to terroir, resulting in wines with subtle structure and pronounced aromatics.

Vinification takes place with controlled fermentation to preserve the fruit character. Subsequently, the wine ages in wood to add structure and complexity without overpowering the delicate character of the grape.
