Tasting Notes
This is far from shy... Aromatically leaps from the glass with notes of tropical fruits, pineapple, guava, papaya, mango to name a few but its a real fruit basket on the nose and given the variety (Moscato) it's no surprise. Now that I've said the M word I have to say the wine is dry so don't worry! The grapes get a short maceration to pull out texture and grip which add savoury characters that pull the fruit forward into line on the palate. It's time in amphora helps to settle everything and has produced a very clean, exotic and textural white. - 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.
