Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Ruby red in color with violet tints, the Langhe Dolcetto DOC entices the senses with notes of juicy black cherries, black currants and violets. This wine is very elegant and velvety with harmonious flavors and a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.

This wine is highly recommended with vegetable pastas, roasted game hens or pork tenderloin with cranberry sauce.

    The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo emerges from young vines in Trifolera. It's a gorgeous entry-level wine with tons of Nebbiolo character and fine balance. Sweet red cherry fruit, mint, spice and star anise are nicely lifted by bright acids. Firm, youthful Nebbiolo tannins extend the finish. This is such a gorgeous wine.

Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.

But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.

Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
