This week, your Wine Guides head back to Piedmont for the start of a new mini-series on Nebbiolo. The journey kicks off with the 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo from Cantine Povero. A $20 bottle that proves great wine doesn’t have to be expensive.
Colin, Joel, and Aaron dig into what makes Langhe the “value heart” of Piedmont, explore the difference between DOC and DOCG wines, and share their first impressions of this honest, fruit-forward red. Expect fresh cherry, pomegranate, and Italian herbs with the right balance of tannin and acidity.
Plus, stay tuned for their conversation with Lucrezia Povero, who shares her family’s 200-year winemaking story, their organic approach, and how she’s bringing new energy to a historic estate.
