Region: Langhe, Piedmont, ItalyGrape: Nebbiolowinemaker: Danielle gaiaDrinks Best: Now - 3 years In 2013, the Gussalli Beretta family purchased Fortemasso in Castelletto, Monforte d’Alba, a 12-acre property planted to Nebbiolo for Barolo production, with an additional 20 acres dedicated to Dolcetto and Barbera. This acquisition led to a new project focused on producing exceptional wines in a breathtaking landscape, guided by expert staff and a philosophy that prioritizes vineyard care and minimal intervention winemaking. Their Langhe Nebbiolo, sourced from younger vines in Monforte d’Alba, is fermented and aged in stainless steel to maintain its fresh fruit flavors. It presents notes of violets, raspberry, cherry, and red plum, with an earthy, savory finish and approachable tannins. pairing: meatball sub
