2023 Elvio Tintero Langhe Nebbiolo
£16.50
“Winemaker Marco Tintero now heads up the family’s 125-year-old estate. From sustainably farmed vineyards, he offers this Nebbiolo in a drink-now style. But there’s no compromise as this is a wonderful expression of the grape. The bouquet is beautiful with a mix of cherry, raspberry and rose petal. Medium-bodied, rich and savory, it offers fresh flavors of plums and raspberries and an earthy note. Well-balanced, with light tannin and bright acidity adding to a pleasing finish. Excellent value.”

Product Description
This estate is now run by Elvio’s son Marco and his wife Cinzia and only 4,000 bottles of this Langhe Nebbiolo are made every year.
No one crafts wines that burst with Piemontese flavour and character for under £20 like Marco Tintero – an extraordinary wine for the price. Nebbiolo’s (the red grape of Barolo and Barbaresco) classic notes of cherry, red roses and spice. It’s quite pale – which is typical of good Nebbiolo – telling us it’s not been over extracted in the winery. The super flavours in this 2023 come straight from the vineyard. It’s got a bit of chew, some bright cherry and wild strawberry and savoury spice, leather and cracked bracken on the nose that goes through to the palate, which has some lovely juice, but coated in tannins, but good ripe tannins, that help the flavours amplify with food, perfect alongside tagliatelle al ragù or even just some cuts of salumi.
