Lodali Nebbiolo D'Alba DOC 2024 750ml

"A beautiful Piedmont Nebbiolo with fragrant red berries, delicate florals and fine, elegant tannins."

Lodali Nebbiolo d'Alba 2024 is a great introduction to one of Italy's most celebrated red grape varieties. From the rolling hills of Piedmont, this is a lighter, more approachable expression of Nebbiolo, with fresh red cherry, raspberry and delicate floral notes.

There's plenty to enjoy here, particularly the balance between juicy fruit, lively acidity and those lovely fine tannins that make Nebbiolo so distinctive. If you enjoy Pinot Noir or elegant Italian reds but haven't explored much Nebbiolo, this is a terrific place to start.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh red cherries, wild strawberries and redcurrants, with delicate violet, rose petal and subtle earthy spice.

Palate: Bright and lively, with juicy red berry fruit, hints of rhubarb and gentle savoury notes. Fine tannins and refreshing acidity give the wine structure while keeping it elegant and approachable.

Finish: Fresh, harmonious and gently savoury, with lingering red fruit, floral notes and a delicate mineral character.

Serving Suggestions

This is a lovely wine to enjoy with Italian food, particularly mushroom risotto, homemade lasagne, roast chicken or pasta with a rich tomato sauce.

It also works beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, antipasto and aged Italian cheeses.

A particularly good choice when you're after something with more structure than Pinot Noir but don't want a big, heavy red.

About The Winery

Lodali is a family owned winery based in Treiso, in the heart of Piedmont's famous Langhe wine region.

The family's winemaking history began in 1939, when Giovanni Lodali started producing wine for guests at the family restaurant. His son Lorenzo later developed the estate's commercial wine production, establishing the foundations for the winery's reputation.

Today, Walter Lodali continues the family tradition, producing wines that reflect the distinctive character of Piedmont, particularly its celebrated Nebbiolo grape.

While the estate is well known for its Barolo and Barbaresco, its Nebbiolo d'Alba offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the variety in a fresher, more approachable style.

The fruit comes from vineyards around Pocapaglia in the Roero area, where sandy soils help produce fragrant, elegant Nebbiolo with delicate red fruit and floral character.

Cellaring Potential

Lodali Nebbiolo d'Alba 2024 is enjoyable young, particularly for its fresh berry flavours and floral aromas.

It also has enough natural acidity and tannin to develop further complexity over the next five to seven years. With time, expect the fruit to soften and more savoury, earthy notes to emerge.
