2024 Renato Corino Langhe Nebbiolo
Piedmont, ITALY
A juicy red fruited yet elegant Nebbiolo.
After 20 years together, Renato Corino and his brother Giuliano decided to split their family's renowned Barolo estate in 2005, allowing each to forge their own path under different labels. Renato's 8-hectare vineyards stand in the prized La Morra crus of Rocche dell’Annunziata, Arborina, Pozzo, Conca and Roncaglie, mostly Nebbiolo along with Barbera and Dolcetto. A brand new, state-of-the-art winery was built to steer production in the same perfectionist fashion that he runs his vineyards. Renato Corino is neighbours with cult Barolo figure Elio Altare and is cousins with the iconic Luciano Sandrone, both of whom are his mentors.
Red to dark red core with black toned edges and a slightly rustic red tinged hue. Aromas of red currant and red liquorice intertwined with earth and dried herbs drift from the glass trailed by hints of tobacco and spice. Medium bodied, the palate is decorated with juicy red currant and red liquorice fruits which meld into a more savoury back drop of earthy tobacco, dried herb and spice characters. Gently chalky tannins and bright acidity lend structure and freshness. Elegant red fruited conclusion.
