Tasting Notes
A monopole vineyard, (and perhaps the finest in Gattinara!), handled organically by the Antoniolo family. The wine is brooding and deep, complex, layered, and incredibly inviting. It's at once savoury and dark-fruited, offering earthy notes and gamey tones, with dark cherry. The palate flexes its hidden power, but without being overt. Sour cherry, dusty tannin and alpine herbs all flow and ebb seamlessly. A delight for the senses. - Felix G
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
