Ruby red color with violet reflections. A bouquet of violet, red fruit, with vinous hints. The palate is ample, with persistent, fresh, and a powerful vitality.
Pair with appetizers, cold cuts, white meats, and pasta dishes.

Bright and very fruity with lots of blackberries and cherries. Medium body. Fresh finish.
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.
