Wines Langhe Tenuta Arbeta - 2022

The Tenuta Arbeta Langhe Rosso 2022 is a dry red wine produced in the renowned Langhe appellation within Italy’s Piedmont region. This wine is commonly crafted from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, notably Nebbiolo, Barbera, and sometimes Dolcetto, though specific blends can vary. The 2022 vintage benefits from a relatively mild and harmonious growing season, allowing for ripe, expressive fruit while retaining the region’s hallmark acidity and structure. Vinification typically involves gentle maceration and fermentation in stainless steel or neutral vessels to preserve freshness and highlight varietal character. The result is a vibrant ruby-hued wine displaying notes of red cherry, wild berries, violet, and subtle hints of spice and earthiness—hallmarks of the Langhe terroir.

Piedmont is celebrated as one of Italy’s premier wine regions, situated at the foot of the Alps. The Langhe zone, in particular, boasts rolling hills with calcareous-clay soils that impart both finesse and complexity to its wines. The region’s climate is continental, marked by significant diurnal temperature variations which help to enhance aromatic development while maintaining freshness and balance. Centuries of viticultural tradition combine with a diverse mosaic of microclimates to make the Langhe an area of remarkable reputation and distinctiveness, especially for red wines.

For food pairings, the Tenuta Arbeta Langhe Rosso 2022’s lively acidity and moderate tannins make it exceptionally versatile. It accompanies classic Piedmontese dishes such as vitello tonnato (veal with tuna sauce), tajarin pasta with porcini mushrooms, or brasato al Barolo (braised beef). The wine is equally at home with roasted pork, game, grilled vegetables, or aged cheeses. Its fresh fruit profile and subtle earthiness also complement Mediterranean tomato-based dishes and charcuterie.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. Open the bottle about 30 minutes prior to tasting to allow the aromas to unfold fully. This young Langhe Rosso can be enjoyed now for its brightness, or cellared for a couple more years to develop further complexity.
