Winemaker Notes
Bouquet: Fresh and intense; infused with scents of wild berries and hints of vanilla.
Taste: Medium-full-bodied; on the palate it expands into a warm, robust flavor that is attractively assertive and well-balanced.
Serving Suggestions: Outstanding with flavorful first courses and appetizers and a natural companion to red meat entrées.
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.
