Winemaker Notes
The wine’s elegance and complexity is apparent through its luminous ruby color and fascinating olfactory experience. Deep, intense aromas of rose petals intertwine with flavors of cherry jam and forest fruits, followed by spicy notes of pepper to finish. The wine shows vibrant acidity blending perfectly with gentle tones of oak, making it an ideal accompaniment to traditional Piedmontese first courses.
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.
