| Community Tasting Notes | | | Tasted by ShakinSwedens on 3/27/2024: Delicious and complex Langhe Nebbiolo. Perfect accompaniment to food as the freshness contains all the typical Nebbiolo notes, but the tannins drying on the finish would be heavy without something to get your teeth into. An excellent example of the genre- well worth seeking out. (51 views) |
| Marziano Abbona Producer Website
The vineyards of Marziano Abbona, a vintner and farmer of great sensitivity and dedication
to environmental protection, are set in the Langhe area, in one of Italy's regions best suited
to winegrowing. The winery was founded by Celso, Marziano's father, who had the foresight
to recognize the area's potential for the production of top-quality wines. About sixty years
ago, he planted the Doriolo vineyard in an area whose soil composition, exposure to sunlight
and surrounding environment made it the ideal choice for the production of Dogliani
Dolcetto wine. Marziano took up his father's challenge and passion and, with the greatest
care, patience and insight, he was able to produce wines of the highest quality, in which
aromas and colors blend to give nectars reflecting the spirit of one of the Langhe area's most
highly regarded vintners.
The great red wines, from the above-mentioned Dolcetto to Barberas and Nebbiolo in all
its versions, represent the perfect blend of quality, balance, charm and structure.
The vineyards, which cover an area of 52 hectares, are planted with some of the most famous
Crus: Doriolo (Dolcetto), Rinaldi (Barbera), Bricco Barone (Nebbiolo), Pressenda (Barolo),
Terlo Ravera (Barolo), Cerviano (Barolo), Occhetti (Arneis) and San Luigi (Dolcetto,
Viogner). From these wonderful and luxuriant hillsides, on cloudless days, you can take in
the whole view, from the Monviso mountain to the sea, as far as the city of Torino, at a
breathtaking glance!
The wine cellar, built in August 2006 and spreading over an area of 2500 square meters,
is where the careful processing of grapes, combined with the use of state-of-the-art technology,
takes place to obtain wines reflecting the painstaking work done in the vineyards and meeting
the most demanding tastes. The many national and international recognitions received by
Marziano's wines, which appear on the wine lists of famous restaurants, have proven him
right. Marziano, aided by a highly-professional staff, makes wines enjoying all wine lovers'
approval, from the most to the least demanding who go for a second glass for the pure
pleasure of indulging in their taste.
NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.
