Tasting Notes
This Ghemme Riserva has begun to gracefully age and start to show some secondary development with the tannins beginning to integrate and loosen their grip on the wine. There is a serious core of red fruit with that floral lift characteristic of Nebbiolo and still shows some oak spice too. This wine has many years left to continue to evolve but is in a great spot now but please decant. - 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.
