Made with new oak, the 2012 Langhe Larigi shows a deep, penetrating and velvety appearance. Larigi is a pure expression of Barbera (from old vines) that macerates on the skins for up to four days. The color is rich and well concentrated. The best thing about this wine is that you never get that biting acidity that Barbera can give in lesser expressions. Morello cherry, blackberry and light spice come into sharp focus.
