Licin

A wine from the lands of Roero, enveloping and slightly tannic

Let’s discover the peculiarities of the Langhe Nebbiolo Licin Roero DOC wine

Langhe Nebbiolo Licin DOC is a structured wine with, thanks to the sandy and clayey soils of the Roero, fresh, fragrant tones. A softer, velvety tannin that can be enjoyed immediately, without having to wait time before it’s ready. The Gallinos produce this particular Nebbiolo, dedicating it to Filippo’s father, “Licin”, one of the pioneers of today’s Roerese wine production.
