The 2022 Roero Bric Valdiana is classy and polished. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, mint, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco are some of the notes that grace this elegant, perfumed Roero from Almondo. All the elements are so well balanced. Bric Valdiana shows what was possible in 2022. It is an incredibly harmonious wine that only improves with time in the glass.
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.
