2024 Guidobono, Langhe, Nebbiolo

Enrico and Marco Faccenda manage their estate through integrated sustainable farming, prioritizing soil health and canopy management across the geological intersection of the Roero’s porous sandstones and the Langhe’s compact calcareous marls. The 2024 growing season was defined by a cool, wet spring that bolstered groundwater reserves, allowing the 30-to-40-year-old vines to reach full phenolic maturity during a late-summer thermal spike without compromising structural tension. To preserve this balance, the Nebbiolo underwent temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel followed by brief maturation in neutral vessels, a technical regimen designed to emphasize varietal transparency over oak influence. Structurally, the wine presents a medium-bodied density and fine-grained tannic architecture, balanced by the high-toned acidity and verticality preserved by the vintage’s early-season moisture. The result is a wine of significant linear persistence and architectural clarity, grounded in the mineral-rich character of its dual-region provenance.
