The Wine

The "Lautus" Langhe Rosso by Roberto Sarotto is a wine that embodies the essence of the Langhe region, where tradition and innovative winemaking come together in perfect harmony. This elegant red is crafted from a meticulous selection of native Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes, expertly vinified to fully express the richness of the terroir. The wine undergoes a careful vinification with long fermentations at controlled temperatures to preserve the integrity of the fruit, followed by aging in oak barrels that impart complexity and depth.

In the glass, the Lautus presents a deep ruby red color, adorned with garnet reflections that hint at a solid structure and an enveloping maturity. The bouquet is broad and seductive, dominated by notes of ripe berries, black cherry, and plum, enriched by hints of sweet spices, cocoa, and a delicate balsamic note that adds freshness and complexity. On the palate, the wine reveals a velvety and well-balanced texture, with soft tannins and vibrant acidity that enhance its lingering finish. Flavors of red fruit intertwine with nuances of sweet spices and licorice, leading to a long and harmonious finish with a pleasant mineral note.

Perfectly paired with grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this Langhe Rosso is a versatile wine that also lends itself to moments of meditation. Its elegance and complexity make it ideal for accompanying rich and structured dishes, enhancing their flavors without overpowering them.
