Guido Porro Langhe Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo
Langhe, Piedmont, Italy

Reviewers of Guido Porro regularly refer to him as “under the radar": the wines he makes are worthy of a stellar reputation, but he is too easygoing and unassuming to worry about whether the general wine-drinking public recognizes his name. Guido is the fourth generation at an estate that has always been passed from father to son, and now fifth-generation Fabio is starting to lend a hand in the family business. The Porros use traditional methods in the vineyards and cellar, embracing the grapes' natural expressions to produce sensational Italian wines. The “Camilu” Nebbiolo is named after the previous proprietor of this parcel, before the Porros acquired it, a nod to the long winemaking lineage present on this land. Fermented 20-25 days in concrete and stainless steel, the resulting wine is aged 6-8 months, also in concrete and stainless steel.
