“Lanöt,” the estate’s Langhe Rosso flagship, channels this heritage into a Barbera-Freisa field blend from 30-50-year-old vines, vinified like the Barbaresco but released earlier for everyday reach. Born from Gianluigi’s conviction that serious structure needn’t demand a crus price tag, it balances ripe red fruits with earthy drive, reflecting Piedmont’s traditional soul in a bottle that punches far above its weight. Now in its third decade, Lanöt stands as proof of Lano’s patient mastery—wines held until ready, never rushed, embodying Barbaresco’s quiet rigor in accessible form.
