Piedmont

Our Wines from Piedmont!

 

Beside Toscana Piemonte is the most famous wine growing region of Italy.

In the north western area of Piemonte a lot of grapes are growing which you will not find anywhere else in Italy. The rural, highly ambitious region produces plenty of fine and full bodied red wines with a vivid acid.

The range of Piemonte's red wines embraces both the fruity Dolcetto and Barbera which should be drunken quite young and the famous Barolo which is a wine of high density and can be stored over years.

In the south west of Alba grows the Nebbiolo, the old domestic and only grape for the Barolo which is cultivated nearly nowhere else.

But also other high quality wines of the Piemonte are based on the Nebbiolo grape: Barbaresco, Gattinara and Ghemme.

Arneis, Moscato and Gavi are Piemonte's most famous whites.


Barolo
 

Every wine lover certainly knows the Barolo. Its roots are in the Langhe area, which consists of eleven communities.

The Barolo is a wine full of tannin and body with a distinctive character. Behind a front of acids and tannins complex aromas are hidden: plums, raspberries, truffles, flowers, cloves and forest soil can be tasted. The longer the storage the more expressive the aromas can be tasted.

Among the eleven Barolo communities, the most important are Castiglione Falletto, Monforte, Serralunga, La Morra and Barolo. There are only three communities which have officially accepted vineyards for Barbaresco: Neive, Treiso and Barbaresco.
