Description

The wines of Massimo Benevelli are considered some of the best value out of the Piemonte region.

A young winemaker who has a wealth of experience already under his belt, Benevelli has garnered a sizeable amount of praise from international critics for the purity, balance and transparency of his Nebbiolo and Barbera wines. For a quick glimpse into variety/region/style, the Benevelli Piero wines are not to be missed.

This Langhe Nebbiolo shows all the regional character of Piemonte Nebbiolo without the daunting tannin that can take decades to resolve. It's a fresh, unadulterated expression of the variety.

It offers great early drinking and the potential for more complexity with time in bottle over the medium term.

"Red fruits, perfume, liquorice root and a little spice… Juicy red fruited succulence, fresh acidity, and slightly rusty tannins with tea and almond on the finish… A textbook Nebbiolo with style, purity—and it’s a bargain."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

93 points - "Red fruits, perfume, liquorice root, a little spice. It’s medium to full-bodied, has a juicy red fruited succulence, freshness to acidity, appropriate slightly rusty tannin, tea and almond on a finish of excellent length. Gee, this is a textbook expression of Nebbiolo that has style and purity, and better still, it’s an absolute bargain." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Seriously good Italian Neb

    Probably one of the best value Nebbiolos around at the moment - great to drink now, but is going to also age quite nicely over the next 5-6 years. Also under screwcap which is a bit of an oddity out of Piedmont, but takes away the cork-lotto risk

    Langhe Nebbiolo

    Pleasant but lacking the finesse of others. Adequate depth of flavour and interest to prevent criticism but not a standout.

Benevelli Piero is situated in Monforte d'Alba in the heart of Barolo Langa. The estate is a committed to preserving traditions and not abandoning the teachings of those who came before them, whilst at the same time supplementing this knowledge with the use of modern technologies.
The wine is ruby red with violet hues. Aromas of intense, full hints of violet, raspberry and roses. Harmonic and dry with a pleasant fruity soft finish.
