Winemaker Notes
Dark red color tending to purple that derives from the perfectly ripe grapes. A wide ranging bouquet with hints of black cherry, mint, pepper, vanilla and coffee. A full rich taste, soft and enveloping, harmonized by a subtle trace of tannin in the long and fruity aftertaste.
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.
