Langhe & Nebbiolo d'Alba
About
Here are "just a few" of my favourite non-Barolo/Barbaresco Nebbiolos from the Langhe. This list is a mixture of more traditional producers (Pira, Borgogno, for example) and those who are more differentiated (Parusso) as well as different villages within the Barolo designation, including one from Barbaresco.
Enjoy!

A lighter, but no less complex, style of Nebbiolo. My favourite Nebb to go with pasta & pesto!
A fave Nebbiolo from Serralunga - juicy redcurrants and fragrant rosehips, but very elegant
A great example from Monforte d'Alba: a little more full bodied with some black fruit and cocoa complementing the more typical red fruit and violet notes
Chiara Boschis: a great premium Nebb, silky red berries, blueberries and rose. Lots of intensity and a long finish
Delicious, if not a typical Nebb due to airing of the grapes method! This and their Barolos taste like drinking a fig tree!
A baby Barolo (their vineyards fall just out of the Barolo designation in Monforte).
The Bartomè Nebb from Barolo itself. Very Pinot Noir - game, redcurrants, rose
Nebbiolo from Neive - a commune of Barbaresco. Fuller bodied, more blackberries and spice. A great crowd pleaser!
