Poderi Elia Langhe Nebbiolo Padrun 750 ML

Padrun Langhe Nebbiolo has light ruby red color. Delicate and impressive depth on the nose. Delightful and refreshing. The palate is very powerful and complex. Smooth texture. The finish is quite delicate, opulent and long. Producer Information Simply put, winemaker Federico Stella is a man with an inner drum. Meticulous beyond belief in the cellar, this talented Barbaresco producer possesses an uncanny instinct for balancing taut structure with smooth tannins and remarkable accessibility. Respectful of Piemontese varietals, but unrelenting in his desire to improve, Stella experimented with over 30 combinations of oak before settling on his cooperage formula (an incredible expense for a small estate)! Consistently, he takes all of his wines right up to the edge of modernity, but then masterfully hovers there, never once crossing the line nor stumbling. Moreover, the partial use of French oak (for most of his reds) aside, Federico employs highly traditional methods - his wines, for example, are neither filtered nor clarified.
