Luigi Baudana 2012 Dragon Langhe Rosso DOC, Italy

Served with Carbonara at March 2016 Event.

Luigi Baudana 15 one of the last garagiste estates in Langhe With just 4 quality hectares, they are located in some of the most prestigious Barolo crus in Serralunga, Alba, The wines of the Luigi Baudana collection are an expression of powerful, genuine and true to-terroir wines, expressing the best of the Nebbíolo grape.  Baudana, the family name, the historical cru and the hamlet, is a sign of just how deep the family's roots are tied to this land. In 2009 Luigi Baudana entrusted the Vaira family with his historical vines in Serralunga d'Alba.

This wonderful wine is a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera. Full of ripe red fruit, spice, bins of earth and mushroom, The structure of this wine should pair wonderfully with the rich, salty character of the carbonara. The fresh acidity will help refresh and cleanse the palate, while the hints of earth and spice should complement the cured pork in the dish. This wine is medium weight and is more about elegance than power.
