Tasting Notes
Syrah and Petit Verdot aren't exactly the first grapes you'd expect to find in La Morra, which is what makes this one so much fun. It's a field blend of 40% Syrah, 40% Petit Verdot and 20% Nebbiolo from the vineyards of Figli Luigi Oddero, right in the heart of Barolo. A warm season ripened the tannins of all three evenly, but there's still loads of brightness and aromatic lift. Vibrant, perfumed and a real curveball from Barolo. - 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.
