Tasting Notes
‘Autinbej’ is the latest addition from Ca’ del Baio, drawn from younger vines planted high in the Barbaresco hills, many above 400 metres. A warm year yet balanced by timely bursts of freshness, produced healthy fruit harvested in early October. After a 14-day fermentation and maceration with daily pump-overs, the wine was transferred to large seasoned Slovenian botti for two years of maturation, followed by a brief rest in bottle before release. The result is a Barbaresco that captures both youthful energy and the clarity of its elevated sites. - Pete 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.
