Description

The Seghesio family are woven into the fabric of Monforte d’Alba – Renzo once served as the town’s mayor, and now his son Federico leads the estate, quietly producing some of the most characterful Nebbiolo in the Barolo hills. Even Luca Roagna counts himself a fan.

‘Ruri’ comes from the lower slopes of the Ginestra cru, declassified fruit from younger vines in Monforte and La Morra. Fermentation runs for around 16 days with a touch of whole berry before the wine rests first in tonneaux, then larger Slavonian oak casks. It’s handled gently from start to finish – no shortcuts, no flash.

The style is classic yet relaxed: macerated cherry, pine resin, porcini and a hint of leather, all wrapped in fine, chalky tannins. It’s a tactile, savoury take on Nebbiolo that feels authentic to its roots – a wine with the bones of Barolo but the ease of something meant to drink now or in a few years’ time.

Importer Ned Goodwin's Notes:

The fruit for the Langhe Nebbiolo Ruri comes from the lower portion of the Ginestra side. The grapes are destemmed and delicately crushed, with 20% whole berry. Fermentation for a total of 16 days, racking and aging in tonneaux (Troncais and Bertranges) for 8 months, then Slavonian oak Barrels (Garbellotto, 3.200 lt) for additional 12 months. Langhe Nebbiolo from Barolo is suppose to be “Baby Barolo?” A little softer and more user-friendly in its youth, so you can chug your Langhe Nebbiolo by the glass, and savor your money-splurge Barolo on special occasions, right? Well, if that's the case, then the 2017 "Ruri" is one of those kids who can run circles around most Barolo grown-ups. This is all-Ginestra Nebbiolo to begin with (no short-cuts) produced with a fermentation of 8 to 10 days by way of steel. The wine is held in steel for 9 months, followed by an additional 9 months in 1,500 liter barrels. "Ruri" is a long-puff of earth, exotic spice, and a sweet-dried core of fruit. Unconditionally itself, and definitely an impressive youngster who can makes it's fancier cousins just seem pointless. Ruri = from Latin = country farm. It's a fitting name for this one-of-a kind "Bambino Barolo."

A more resinous, tactile iteration of Nebbiolo hewn of botti, a dash of Stockinger and de-classified younger vines from la Morra and Monforte. This is a 'mini Barolo' in the best way, no matter how diminutive and clichéd that may sound. Think macerated cherry, an alpine hint of pine, porcini and leather, all corseted by Nebb's quintessential rasp of dried rose tannins. Brilliant for everyday drinking as much as cellaring across the mid-term.
