Winemaker Notes
Alessandro and Gian Natale have miraculously persevered Nebbiolo’s bright acidity and beautiful aromas of rose petals and crushed cherries, but deliver with a tender tannin that makes this rosso remarkably versatile alongside all kinds of dishes from dumplings to ribollita. It even works slightly chilled with some cold cuts or a burger.
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.
