Winemaker Notes
The wine shows a bright ruby red color with a fresh, fruity bouquet of amarena cherry, red plum, blackberry, and a touch of thyme, offering a harmonious and structured palate that is both flavorful and balanced, and it pairs beautifully with grilled meat, tagliatelle with wild boar ragù, and gratin onion soup.
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.
