Winemaker Notes
Bricco dei Guazzi Albarossa is a deep, almost impenetrable, ruby red. Warm and embracing on the nose with intense aromas of red berries, mixed with aromas of toasted coffee and of leather. Round and full-bodied on the palate, a great concentration of fruitiness bolstered by a tannic profile. Pleasantly fresh and tasty.
Pairs well with charcuterie, boiled meat, stews, roasts, and ripe cheeses.
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.
