Nebbiolo d’Alba
Caplavur
First vintage: 1996
It is the winery’s historic Nebbiolo. This wine, along with arneis and barbera were the labels that first saw the light of day at the winery, the nebbiolo, renamed CAPLAVUR (CAPOLAVORO) since 2010, now ages 24 months in large barrels. Light aging that allows the primary aromas of nebbiolo to be perceived but at the same time dampens and softens the tannins.
