## Food pairing

The wine's medium+ tannins and acidity are well-suited to complement the richness of proteins, cutting through fat and cleansing the palate. Earthy notes in the wine can harmonize with ingredients like mushrooms and root vegetables, while its structure stands up to robust flavors.

## Wine making process

The Langhe Nebbiolo Angelo is produced from hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. Maceration on the skins occurs in stainless steel tanks for approximately 26 days at a controlled temperature. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed in stainless steel. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a brief period in small oak barrels (barriques). The winery has been committed to organic farming practices for over two decades, avoiding chemical herbicides and utilizing natural vineyard management techniques.
