Tasting Notes
Something very different from Piedmont here. Erbaluce is a fairly uncommon variety in Piedmont overshadowed by grapes like Arneis. After trying this I think it should be the other way around as this was delicious! Layered with green apple, amalfi lemon, hints of white florals and a refreshing acidity that keeps the riper fruit flavours in check. - 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.
