Winemaker Notes
A lively, full-bodied red with a lovely, fresh, intense aroma infused with the scent of wild berries and hints of vanilla. On the palate it expands into a warm, robust flavor that is attractively assertive and well balanced.
Outstanding with flavorful first courses and appetizers and a natural companion for 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.
