Red Dry Italy

Italy's unique wine region of Piedmont, or Piemonte in Italian. It boasts exceptional local varietals such as Nebbiolo and Barbera, and encapsulates an extraordinary character in its wines - full of essential flavors or tannins with red wines, and full of expression and minerality with white varieties. It is home to many legendary appellations - such as Barolo and Barbaresco, but also to unique sweeter wines, as in the case of Moscato d'Asti. Piedmont on the wine map of Italy is simply not to be missed, not only because of its size, but also because of its outstanding wines - both everyday and absolutely exceptional.

Terroir - the influence on the exceptional wines of PiedmontWhat

makes the wines of Piedmont exceptional? In addition to the local varieties that create the unique taste of wine in the glass, the climate is also important, or more precisely, the two factors that distinguish Piedmont's terroir. After all, on one side we have the Alpine range and on the other the warmer Mediterranean Sea. So the influence of the cold mountains and the influx of sea air largely determine the final result in the glass. The resulting temperature difference also creates morning mists that descend during the day. Hence, from the rest, the name of Piedmont's most famous grape - Nebbiolo, referring to the word nebbia - fog.

The dominant grape production in Piedmont is red varieties, accounting for about 65% of all vine plantings in the region. Among the most important are:

NebbioloThe leading

variety of Piedmont, although it is not dominant in terms of the number of plantings. These are grapes with high aging potential, high tannin content with aromas of cherries and roses. Nebbiolo, however, in its most popular versions hides under the names of legendary appellations where it reaches its peaks.
There can be only one king - Barolo. The Barolo DOCG appellation is located on the town's south-facing hills, which allow the production of outstanding Nebbiolo. The wines themselves are, above all, a powerful structure full of tannin and many complex aromas - including often smoky and tobacco flavors, punctuated by fruit and floral elegance. These are also wines that have to mature for a minimum of 18 months in oak barrels, and then are still aged in bottles, finally reaching the market after 3 years. The "Riserva" version, on the other hand, is aged for 5 years. Barolo also has great aging potential and shows its ideal form after an ageing period of about 10 years, so it is worth looking for older bottles, or put a fresher one in your cellar and wait for it to mature a bit.

The King, on the other hand, is accompanied by Barbaresco. Thanks to its limestone soils, it's a wine with slightly lower tannin content. This fact, as well as the lower intensity of the wine, is also influenced by the smaller climatic differences between night and day. Hence, it is used to refer to Barbaresco as a "lighter version of Barolo".

Looking further for wines with a slightly simpler structure (yet still retaining the complexity of Nebbiolo), it is also worth looking at wines from Langhe. Lighter, less fleshy, but still showing the great potential of this varietal, while also demonstrating its versatility and sometimes the variety of style that can be achieved from it.

BarberaBarbera

dominates in terms of the acreage it occupies in Piedmont, but also has a place in the hearts of consumers. These are much lighter wines than those made from Nebbiolo, with softer character and higher acidity, full of flavors of dark fruits and herbs. Simpler, often at a very good price/quality ratio, they offer wines that are easy to make friends with. When looking for Barbera of proven quality, it is worth being tempted by wines from DOCG appellations, i.e. Barbera d'Asti and Barbera del Monferrato Piedmont Superiore.

DolcettoDolcetto

offers wines full of tannins and solid structure, infused with aromas of forest fruits and licorice. Contrary to its name, it is not a varietal used to make sweet wine, nor does it offer overly sweet accents on its own. Nonetheless, it tends to be a low-acid wine, which is why (as well as because of its palpable fruitiness) it is compared to Merlot.

While red wines draw a lot of attention when talking about Piedmont, it would be a huge understatement not to mention white wines as well, especially since these have some interesting and unique offerings to offer.

MoscatoFans of

sweeter wines have their own gem in Piedmont's crown - Moscato, or more precisely, the Piedmontese version of Moscato d'Asti is a delicate sweet sparkling wine, holding 5% alcohol. Aromas of flowers, candies, tangerines and tropical fruits lined with a gentle effervescence of bubbles is something that has delighted many consumers. In the same region, you can still find Asti Spumante - which has much more bubbles than the famous d'Asti, as well as more % alcohol.

CorteseA white

grape famous for its excellent white wines emanating a citrusy style full of expressive acidity and minerality. Known above all as Gavi (such as the famous Gavi di Gavi wines) they are perfect during the summer heat, as well as a companion to fish and seafood.

ArneisWhite

wines famous for their minerality and fruity and almond notes layered on a succulent structure full of balanced acidity. This is an interesting alternative to explore for fans of Loire Valley wines.
