Gianfranco and Serena Cordero Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2012
About the wine
Stunning Italian classic
- Stunning food wine with some a real Italian character. All the firmness and tannin you'd expect from a Piedmont classic.
- Gianfranco is a winemaking legend in Northern Italy, consulting for lots of famous Barolos. And his daughter Serena is following in his footsteps to define the next generation of Italian wine.
- This is one of the few times that it's okay to succumb to a stereotype. Garlic, tomato sauce, your favorite kind of pasta and a BIG glass of Cordero Nebbiolo. Pour a glass and let the wine breathe if you're drinking it before 2017.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gianfranco & Serena Cordero
Years Angel-funded: 2014-18
- This father and daughter combo are mega-qualified Italian winemakers and consultants who make beautiful Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and Arneis wines from Piedmont.
- They started producing their own wine in 2006 when they decided to take on Serena's grandfather Teresio's vineyard so they could keep on working in his memory, and let their land be known all over the world.
- Gianfranco is one of the reasons Barolo is known as the King of Wines, and - with the help of Angel funding - Serena is ushering in a new generation of northern Italian wines with balance, elegance and flavor.
