Tasting Notes

It may as well be Barolo. 20-50 year old vines planted on both calcareous and sandy soils on a north-facing slope. The level of quality is second to none here. Intensity, structure and balance are key, and this wine will keep for some time even if it's approachable now. Dark fruited but still perfumed, it's an exciting and enticing wine to drink. Love it! - 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.
