Winemaker Notes
A full-bodied, approachable red with a pleasant fruity nose with nuances of balsamic. It is well-balanced with fresh tannins and an elegant, long finish that lingers on the palate.
This versatile wine pairs nicely with a wide array of dishes, from grilled white
meats to tomato-based pasta dishes to pizza.
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.
