Tasting Notes
The Barolo La Tartufaia is the most immediately approachable expression of the La Morra style. Sourced from lower, clay-rich parcels, it offers an inviting and supple profile dominated by fresh red cherries, pomegranate, violet, and mint. The palate is soft and fruit-driven, with fine-grained, vigorous tannins that provide structure without the formidable grip often associated with young Barolo. - 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.
