Winemaker Notes
Light ruby in color, aromas of cherries and cranberries awaken the senses while undertones of earth, smoke, and tobacco lurk under the surface. Delicate tannins and a light body make this a finessed but structured wine.
Pair this wine with pizza, white cheese sauces, light vegetable stews, and Tortilla Española.
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.
