Tasting Notes
If you think of Nebbiolo as big, brooding and tannic, this one will change your mind. It's light and spicy, with fresh strawberry, raspberry, rose and fennel, plus a sprinkle of white pepper. The tannins are gentle but still have a bit of grip, and crisp acid carries it through to a sour cherry finish. It drinks more like Pelaverga than classic Nebbiolo, and it's a seriously fun bottle for it. - 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.
