Tasting Notes
Conca a small vineyard in La Morra. The top wines from Renato Ratti get a lot of new barrique, and arguably, I'd suggest that the wineries in La Morra are serial offenders when it comes to wood, from a commune that perhaps needs it least? Anyway, stepping down from my soapbox now, to the task at hand. A lot of spicy cinnamon, mint and clove wood, sage, liquorice, plush red fruits. It's medium bodied, almost silky and creamy, layered with spice through red fruits, gentle herbal and sage like inflection, lovely high pixel tannin, and a creamy red fruited finish of excellent length. 93 Points - Gary Walsh
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.
