Winemaker Notes
The wine has a ruby red color, with garnet reflections typical of the grape variety. The nose is floral and fruity, rich in scents that recall violet and rose. The light tannins envelop the mouth in a delicate and elegant way. The balance and harmony make this Nebbiolo quite drinkable and invite you to another glass.
Ideal with typical Piedmontese appetizers such as raw meat (tartare or albese), veal with tuna sauce and Russian salad. Excellent with mature cheeses, grilled or well-seasoned red meats and game.
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.
