Tasting Notes
We have spoken about vintage 2018 for Barolo but worth noting that 2019 is considered hot property across the Langhe and we are delighted to have our first Barbaresco land in Australia. There were some heat events during the summer of 2019, but the few months at the end of the season were very classic and cool with, cold nights in particular, leading to a longer growing season and more acidity in the grapes. The wines are structured and fruit pure, albeit nervier in their youth, with great concentration and a vibrant energetic appearance. A great follow on from 2018. - Importer Note
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.
