Le Cecche Langhe Rosso 2018 is a delightful expression of the Piedmont region, capturing the essence of its rich, diverse terroir. Scoring an admirable 95 points, this wine offers a vibrant bouquet of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle notes of spice, all underscored by a hint of earthy minerality. On the palate, it reveals a luscious balance of fruit and acidity, with silky tannins that create a smooth, lingering finish. This versatile red pairs beautifully with classic Italian dishes, such as pasta with a hearty ragù or a charcuterie board featuring aged cheeses. For a wine of such quality, it’s truly a great value find, delivering far more than you might expect at this price point.
