Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby red in color with aromas of spice, blackberry, dried cherry and violets. The wine is soft and round, yet is well structured with a persistent finish. The lower levels of sulfites allow the aromas and flavors of this wine to shine.

Pair with fennel-spiced sausages, duck confit or aged cheeses.

Blend: 50% Albarossa, 30% Barbera and 20% Merlot

Professional Ratings

88 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Monferrato Rosso is a hugely delicious, value-priced wine bursting with fruit. Crushed flowers, licorice and spices add considerable complexity to the dark fruit. I especially like the juiciness here. This is another uncomplicated wine that convinces for the sheer pleasure it provides. It is equally soothing on the bank account. The Rosso is 50% Albarossa, 30% Barbera and 20% Merlot.

Tenuta la Marchesa

The estate, located in the most important area of Gavi, covers 190 acres, of which 145 are planted with Cortese, Chardonnay, Merlot, Barbera and Albarossa vines. A new winery equipped with the latest in modern winemaking equipment blends perfectly with the architecture of the old villa. The old villa cellar has also been maintained in the historic home, preserving a history of winemaking tradition. The La Marchesa wines are greatly influenced by two important elements: the nature of the soil (a clay-limestone mix) and the Mediterranean climate, tempered by breezes that pass the Apennine mountains.

Piedmont Red Wine

View all products

Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.

But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.

Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
