Le Pianelle Al Forte
Nebbiolo from the Alpine foothills. 91pts Vinous.
ALLOCATION II
Breeze-Driven · Costa della Sesia · Alpine Nebbiolo
Producer
Le Pianelle farms Nebbiolo in the Costa della Sesia in Piedmont's alpine foothills — cooler and higher than the Langhe, producing wines with more lift, aromatic freshness, and structural tension than the region's more famous addresses. Al Forte is their second wine and already a compelling expression of what this terroir can do.
🌬️ Breeze·
🪨 Stone
Breeze primary — cool mountain climate, alpine herbs, and the nervous energy of high-altitude Nebbiolo make this a textbook Breeze wine. The freshness and aromatic clarity are unmistakable. Stone secondary — the mineral soil of Costa della Sesia gives the wine a stony, precise backbone that keeps its fruit in check.
Tasting note
Bright, vibrant, and bursting with red berry fruit, wild flowers and alpine herbs. Nervy and racy at its core — Al Forte is a fabulous introduction to Le Pianelle's estate and to Nebbiolo grown in the cooler, higher-altitude conditions of the Costa della Sesia. 91pts Vinous.
