A beautifully refined Italian red wine from the rolling hills of Langhe in Piedmont, made entirely from the noble Nebbiolo grape.
Tasting Note
Langhe DOC Nebbiolo “Simane” is an elegant and expressive red that perfectly captures the character of Piedmont’s famous grape. Ruby red in colour with delicate orange highlights, it opens with aromas of pomegranate, blood orange, and dried rose petals. On the palate, this classic Nebbiolo shows fine, silky tannins and a savoury, gently spiced depth that echoes its fragrant nose. The finish is long and beautifully balanced, showcasing the finesse and poise that make Nebbiolo so distinctive. A wine of real character and authenticity, it’s an ideal introduction to this much-loved Piedmont variety.

Kate Says
"Think of this as Barolo’s easy-going younger cousin – elegant, aromatic, and perfect for a cosy dinner with Italian comfort food. It’s a wine that grows in the glass and rewards a little time to breathe."
