Winemaker Notes
The wine is ruby red with garnet shades, typical of the Nebbiolo grape. The nose is floral and fruity, rich in scents reminiscent of violet and rose. The light tannins show themselves in the mouth in a delicate and elegant way. The balance and harmony make this Nebbiolo rather easy-drinking and invite you to another glass.
Perfect with typical piemontese antipasti such as raw meat (tartare or albese), veal with tuna sauce and insalata russa. Excellent with aged cheese, red meat (grilled or spiced) and with wild 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.
