Tasting Notes
The warmer 2011 vintage has given this wine the gift of early drinking. It's not to say it wont last a few decades but I'd be drinking over the next 10 to get the most enjoyment from it. There is a savoury dustiness to this old-world wine, but also ripe red fruits glow out of the glass. It's pretty and plush with a nice fine line of mouthcoating tannin. Definitely light-medium body and a lovely accompaniment to most protein-rich dishes. - 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.
