Winemaker Notes
Ruby red color. The wood is perfect for providing a natural level of oxygenation, but without much oak flavor, as well as intense floral aromas. Balanced & elegant with hardworking soft tannins.
Pair with truffles, game, medium aged cheeses, red & white meats, and pasta.

Wine Spectator
There is depth to the black cherry, blackberry and pomegranate fruit in this red, along with wild rosemary and thyme accents. Fresh, with dense tannins and a lingering fruity 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.
