Tasting Notes
A full-flavoured Piedmont white for lovers of fuller bodied textural whites. There is plenty of pear, apple and citrus here, with a gentle leesy texture giving it real weight and depth and a savoury herbal edge of sage and thyme underneath. It finishes long, clean and balanced, with a lightly bitter twist that keeps everything fresh. Powerful but refined, and genuinely distinctive. - 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.
