The 2024 Bel Colle Langhe Nebbiolo DOC is a beautifully vibrant and classically styled Nebbiolo from one of Verduno’s benchmark traditional producers in Piedmont. Produced from younger vines and select parcels across the Langhe hills, the wine is designed to capture the perfume, freshness and elegance of Nebbiolo in a more approachable style than Barolo or Barbaresco. Fermented traditionally with gentle extraction and aged primarily in stainless steel and large neutral oak, the 2024 vintage reflects the purity and aromatic precision of the grape while remaining highly drinkable in its youth. The limestone and clay soils around Verduno give the wine a distinct floral lift and savoury mineral tension that are hallmarks of the region’s finest Nebbiolo.
The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry layered alongside rose petal, dried herbs and subtle spice, giving the wine remarkable aromatic lift and classic Nebbiolo character. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with fine tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully balanced mineral core. Layers of sour cherry, orange peel and savoury earthy nuance unfold with excellent freshness and precision, finishing long, bright and beautifully persistent with impressive finesse for Langhe Nebbiolo. The wine delivers much of the perfume and structure associated with young Barolo while remaining far more approachable and versatile at the table.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Bel Colle Langhe Nebbiolo is a superb everyday Nebbiolo — fragrant, mineral and beautifully refined with outstanding freshness and classic Piedmont character. Perfect with pasta dishes, roast pork, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, veal or aged cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar comfortably through 2032.
