Tasting Notes

Fabio Gea's Dolcetto has a voice that shouts louder than almost every other Dolcetto. There is intensity in almost every aspect of this wine - fruit, acidity, tannin - and can only be explained by the character of the man behind the wine with his eccentric philosophies about energy and how it relates to the people and life. This wine is a great reflection of energy in a bottle. Savour 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.
