Winemaker Notes
This Nebbiolo, that takes origin in the vineyards “Sotto Orti” , “Campasso” and “Neirane” in Verduno, is characterized by a good structure and elegance. A younger brother of Barolo, the Langhe Nebbiolo is an important red wine with a nice structure and complexity. Elegant and balanced indeed are the typical flowery notes: wild rose and violet.
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.
