Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red in color with an intense and persistent expression with berries, cherries and ripe fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, tannic and pleasantly cool.
Can accompany the entire meal, pairing well with pasta dishes, risotto, red and white meats, and medium-aged cheeses.

Super clean nebbiolo with red cherries and berries, fresh acidity, fine and lightly firm tannins and a fruity and nutty finish.
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.
