There is no place in the world where Nebbiolo expresses itself better than the Langhe. In all its forms. From the simplest and most drinkable versions to the most complex and structured ones. The bond between the vine and its land, in this case, is simply unique. Ellena offers here its simplest and most pleasant Nebbiolo. It is a Langhe DOC, produced from pure Nebbiolo grapes, harvested in the company's vineyards in La Morra. A vineyard, the Motturone, which was planted in 2005 and which enjoys a beautiful western exposure. We are at about 280 metres above sea level, where the grapes reach perfect ripeness and are ready for harvesting at the beginning of October. Fermentation is started using indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged in used barriques for about a year. At the end of this phase it is bottled, without filtration, and then continues its slow refinement for another 3/6 months. A pleasantly fresh and not too complex wine, it has fine and elegant tannins and is perfect with simple meat and poultry dishes.
We are in the municipality of La Morra. One of those places that in the mind of every good wine lover rhymes with Barolo. The property covers about 15 hectares, 7 of which are planted with vines, 6 with hazelnuts and 2 with woodland. Founded by Francesco and Giovanni Ellena, the current farm derives from an original property purchased in 1966, after having worked for years as sharecroppers on various farms in La Morra. For many years the farm was part of an agricultural cooperative, but the dream of returning to making wine from their own grapes never faded in the family members. So, with the 2009 harvest, after having renovated part of the historic farmhouse and the 19th century cellar for the ageing of the Baroli, the Ellena family returned to winemaking on their own. Today three generations work side by side, interweaving ancient traditions and innovation.
