Tasting Notes
Sourced from the clay-limestone soils of the prized San Lorenzo vineyard, this Barbera d'Alba is a deeply concentrated and structural expression of the site. The vineyard's unique microclimate imparts a remarkable balance, where piercing natural acidity cuts beautifully through plush layers of tangy dark cherry, blood orange, and complex dried herbs. It showcases a serious, age-worthy frame that elevates the grape beyond a simple everyday red. - Chris L
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.
