Winemaker Notes
The color is deep ruby red with garnet red shades. Intense notes of fresh fruit on the nose with an undertone of balsamic and spices. Excellent structure on the palate with soft, balanced tannins.
This wine pairs well with red meats, game, fowl and aged cheeses.

Wine Spectator
Cherry, raspberry, floral, iron and wild herb aromas and flavors abound in this elegant, solidly built red, whose tannins emerge with support and grip on the finish, while the vibrant acidity keeps everything well-defined. Drink now through 2032.
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.
