Tasting Notes
This is ripe and intense Barbera. A serious expression of the variety that leaves nothing but incredible flavour behind. 10-40 year old vines planted on a combination of calcare and sand. I wish all Barbera was taken this seriously and produced with this much respect. Put down in the cellar or give it plenty of time to open - day 3 was best for me. What a producer, what a wine! - Chris L
A serious dark fruited and young Barbera with chalky tannin grip, plus some oak and alcohol bite. One for lovers of serious reds and the desire to leave it in the cellar for couple of years. Wait for the rewards! - Michael 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.
