Tasting Notes
Lovely, textured, complex Rossese... Say what?! So the variety Rossese is little known around the world, even in Italy, but hails from Piedmont where it was nearly extinct many moons ago, but people like Manzone brought it back to life. This example is floral and medium bodied with oodles of creamy texture and a nice balance of pear and peach-esk fruits. Something different to drink that's not too different. - 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.
