Linea Retta Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2019
Linea Retta Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2019
Ruby red colour, with a persistent scent of rose petals and berries. The taste is well balanced thanks to velvety tannins and freshness with a good structure to support the palate.
2020 started with a mild winter, followed by a rainy spring and a warm summer. Overall crop size was slightly lower than normal. Acidity levels for all varieties were bright and there is an impressive complexity in the wines which are extremely elegant with round tannins.

Linea Retta is a winemaking collaboration between two renowned winemakers: Italy’s Giorgio Rivetti and Australia’s Larry Cherubino.
The name ‘Linea Retta’ (an Italian expression that can be translated as ‘in a direct line’) refers to their shared ‘vineyard first’ winemaking philosophies. Larry love’s of Italy in particular the wines of Piedmont meant that when the opportunity arose to collaborate with Giorgio he could not resist. “I have admired Giorgio’s wines from the first time I was introduced to ‘Pin’ in London almost 20 years ago and never thought I would be working with the man himself, so I feel incredibly lucky!” Linea Retta is the result.
