Tasting Notes
From one of the great vineyards in La Morra, given Grange-like quantities of new oak, though as my Mum always used to say 'There's someone for everyone. " Lavish spicy sawn cedar oak, sage and vanilla, red fruits, some rosy perfume in there too. Medium bodied, drag of wood tannin in with the grape tannin, lending a slightly splintery feel as a young wine, though the fruit in with it is perfumed and lively, I just wish I could see it more clearly. Savoury and tobacco-laced finish of good length, with the crunch of tannin on the finish. It has its good parts, but feels too dry and extracted to me. 89+ 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.
