Winemaker Notes
Pairs well with rich and tasty dishes, from fresh pasta with meat sauces, to grilled or roasted red meat dishes. It is also excellent with soft and delicate blue cheeses.

The 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo (100% Nebbiolo) is silky and elegant, with lots of kirsch and cherry fruit in its medium-bodied, seamless, silky style. With plenty of spice nuances, no hard edges, a juicy, delicious profile and a clean finish, it's a no-brainer purchase for those looking for a wine with real Nebbiolo character that won’t break the bank.
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.
