No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

The flexible regional DOC that lets Barolo and Barbaresco producers bottle declassified nebbiolo, experimental blends, and whites. Langhe Nebbiolo is the important one: often young-vine or declassified Barolo fruit, released early, with cherry, rose, tar and softer tannin than the DOCGs, a genuine bargain in good years. Langhe Rosso covers everything from Barbera-Nebbiolo blends to Gaja's famous Cabernet and Nebbiolo cuvées, and Langhe Chardonnay and Nascetta are the top whites of the area. Quality tracks the producer.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Langhe, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
