Ester Canale Nebbiolo Langhe comes from younger vines of Davide Rosso in Vigna Rionda. Soft, sensual and beautifully perfumed, it is a real charmer. The wine glides smoothly over the palate and is driven by concentrated cherries, blackberries, blood oranges, smoky tar and liquorice. Firm, dense tannins form the backbone of this masterpiece, the dark berry fruit builds slowly and steadily and finally leads to an almost infinitely long finish. The Langhe Nebbiolo is undoubtedly the hidden jewel in the portfolio of this small, exceptional winery. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, shiny ruby red colour. The nose is fragrant with dried flower petals, oranges and candied wild strawberries, very refined and elegant. Enormously juicy and precise on the palate, with creamy fruit that stretches across the tongue, vibrant, savoury, long and very elegant." Falstaff

"The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Ester Canale Rosso is gorgeous. Dark and pliant, the 2021 has an air of mystery that is palpable. It’s a wine with myriad shades of dimension that emerge over time. Black cherry, plum, incense, leather and lavender open with some coaxing. This young-vine Langhe Nebbiolo from Vigna Rionda is not ready yet to be Barolo, but it is far above most wines in its peer group." Vinous

"A Nebbiolo that shines for its concentration, it has a bark-like, fleshy character with dark violet and blood orange complexity. The attack is super-rich, tannins vibrant and grainy then polished on the finish, with lively integrated acidity and a sweet note of smoky woodland. One of the best and, not by chance, one of the most expensive Langhe Nebbiolo bottlings. ‘It's a sort of Barolo bottled young,’ says winemaker Andrea Delpiano." Decanter
