Description
Looking for top-tier Nebbiolo that won’t send your wallet into shock? The 2021 Gioso Langhe Nebbiolo might just be the best value Nebbiolo you’ll find on the shelves right now. Sourced from Barolo’s prestigious communes—Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto—this wine offers serious pedigree without the hefty price tag. Crafted by the talented team at Sordo, it’s got complexity, texture, and a balance that can easily rival the big names.
When first poured, it’s not going to shout from the rooftops with bold colour or bombastic aromas. But give it some time and some air, and this Nebbiolo slowly unwinds into something special for the dollars asked. It’s the perfect "everyday" Nebbiolo that also rewards patience, making it one you can drink now or stash away for a few years of delicious anticipation.
Expect layers of fresh cherry, slatey tannins, earthy spice, and just a hint of liquorice, wrapped around a core of vibrant acidity that keeps you coming back for more. This Nebbiolo is elegance in a glass—fun, approachable, but with enough depth to keep you hooked. Whether it’s a Tuesday night pasta or a low-key weekend dinner, this is the kind of wine that fits any occasion.
For this kind of quality, you’d usually pay double in this region. Stock up while you can—you might even find yourself hoarding bottles for those rainy days.

"Totally unique and captivating, as you’d expect, you can smell what is to follow, which is an astonishingly sophisticated marriage of fruit and structure – acidity and fine, fine tannins in sync, side by side, spicy, lingering, perfectly designed for the table where it is an astute gastronomic partner. Fabulous value as well."
- Tony Love (Wine Pilot)

"This is a ripper... It’s so fine boned and restrained. Could be, likely is, the best, ‘entry level’ Langhe nebb I have seen. Blown away." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Ordering
We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
- The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
- We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
- We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
- It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.
- It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.
We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.
At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!
No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.
We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.
To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you.
If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.
If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
