Drawing its fruit from Roero, the 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo Picotener is named after a biotype of the mighty Piedmont grape. Picotener was first identified as a Nebbiolo subvarietal in 1817, but it was soon forgotten and almost lost. It farms at very low yields, with low vegetative vigor and typically produces a more intense color. This wine does indeed open to darker color saturation when compared to other Langhe Nebbiolo wines. It also shows a sweeter bouquet with plush aromas of wild cherry or dried raspberry. There is a nice earthy aroma as well. Picotener has a very soft and mild texture, and I wonder if the grape's name was inspired by that distinctive tenderness. Some 7,000 bottles were released in May 2020.
