Renzo Castella | "Madonnina" Nebbiolo | Langhe, Piedmont, IT | 2020

Renzo Castella tends to his 8 hectares of vineyards, a hidden gem straddling the borders of Diano D’Alba and Serralunga, Barolo. The magic lies in the limestone-rich micro-terroir, a geological marvel creeping into Renzo's backyard from his celebrated neighboring appelation- Barola. Despite the family nurturing these vines since the 1900s and Renzo's oenological expertise, there's no ego here – just a passion for quality without the desire for fame or branding. His wines, a steal for their superb quality, reflect the Langhe authentically.

Renzo embraces natural methods, eschewing pesticides and herbicides, crafting wines in the tradition of his forefathers in Diano. Free from excessive oak, his creations boast pure fruit flavors, delicate florals, and a hint of rustic charm. The palate is dense yet lively. Fresh, focused, and tannic, these wines are an easy choice for a sophisticated yet approachable weeknight indulgence, reflecting Renzo's dedication to his craft.
