Nebbiolo While the production of Nebbiolo wine is less than Barbera, it’s considered to be the greatest wine from Piedmont. Nebbiolo is a high tannin grape with red cherry, tar, and rose flavors, with a clay-like terroir. When you taste a Nebbiolo wine, you can feel the grippy tannin towards the front of your mouth. At its best, a Piedmont Nebbiolo...
Barbera is the most planted red grape variety in Piedmont and it’s a little less finicky than Nebbiolo. Barbera wines from Piedmont are dark in color and taste of black cherry, anise, and dried herbs. Just like with Nebbiolo, there are some clues to finding good Barbera wines. First, there are only two DOCGs for Barbera: Barbera d’Asti and Barbera ...
Dolcetto is a bit of a misnomer because the word means “little sweet one”: Dolcetto is neither sweet nor “little.” The wines made with Dolcetto grapes are very dark in color with flavors of blackberry, licorice, and tar. The wines are not known to age well because they have low acidity, but offer plenty of mouth-drying tannin. Many producers in Pie...

Gavi wines are made in a dry style and are known for their lemon-like citrus flavors and tingly acidity. Cortese has the same mouth-zapping refreshing quality as some Pinot Grigioand Chablis wines. A New S...

These wines are fresh and grassy and somewhat similar to the Sauvignon Blanc in white Bordeaux. We asked Wine Guide and Translator Diana Zahuranec to help us understand what it’s actually like to live in Piedmont. Naturally, she brought ou...
