La Tradizione del Piemonte
12 bottles
A collection that brings out the excellence of the territory, a place with a very strong wine tradition. Twelve bottles that convey the best of the great regional denominations, perfect for savouring every drop of the finest Piedmontese tradition.
Cortese Piemonte DOC
A classic among Piedmontese white wines: born on the hills of Langhe and Monferrato, light and pleasant thanks to a very low alcohol content. Our Cortese has obtained a prestigious score in the yearbook of the best Italian wines, signed by Luca Maroni: 92 points.
In the glass, it offers a yellow straw colour, with slight greenish reflections. The perfume has echoes of flowers and fruit, with clear sensations of acacia and pear. On tasting, it is light and fresh, pleasant and lively.
Dolcetto Piemonte DOC
Piedmont has many lands, Piedmont has many souls: in Dolcetto Piemonte DOC, the facets of a complex identity find perfect synthesis. In the glass it always manages to amaze, gradually unveiling its full expressive spirit. Unlike the denominations linked to a specific territory, Dolcetto Piemonte DOC manages to build relationships between the small differences of a historical varietal, playing with nuances and impressions. An exchange of tastes and tones, a mosaic of different sensations waiting to be reconstructed.
It’s ruby red to the eyes, with subtle violet hues. The olfactory profile is rather broad, characterised by clean and persistent floral aromas: a vinous nose, pleasantly characteristic, stimulating curiosity and opening to a taste that immediately demonstrates a perfectly accomplished balance. Low acidity, a tannic structure of measured intensity, enveloping and pleasant overall, the Piemonte Dolcetto DOC is a different red from the usual, and never insipid.
Curiosity
Dolcetto Piemonte DOC owes its name to a characteristic of the grapes from which it is produced: sweet, precise, and characterised by a low acidity compared to its cousins such as the Barbera and Nebbiolo. It is one of the most popular reds in Piedmont, pleasantly dry, satisfying and without overabundance. Compared to the Costafiore, which is more everyday, reassuring and definite in the influences of the land of origin, whereas the Costafiore is more thorough and austere. Definitely two wines to try, the two faces of a ‘Made in Piedmont’ red.
Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore
A variety cultivated on the naturally south-facing slopes of the rolling hills of Astigniano. The Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore comes from this region, nurtured with care by expert hands. It is only produced when conditions are particularly suitable, that is when there is a good climate and the grapes have ripened to perfection. The yield per hectare is very low and the quality of the final product is higher than average. What are the ingredients of such a successful wine? The climate, fertile clay-rich sandy soil, ripe juicy fruit, and more than 100 years' experience cultivating grapes and producing wine with passion.
Intense ruby colour with red undertones, notably bright and full-bodied. Distinct and pronounced floral aromas, typical of this variety. The bouquet is rounded off with vinous aromas and fruity fragrances. The taste is structured, smooth, clear and harmonious: while the young wine tends to be somewhat coarse, with a prevailing acidity and nervous tannins, ageing in oak barrels refines the flavour, resulting in enveloping, pleasant and persistent taste sensations.
Tips
The Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore offers a luxurious and well-structured aromatic profile. To enjoy this wine to the full, we suggest opening the bottle at least one hour before drinking: in this way it will have time to dialogue with the air and express all of its overwhelming potential. Serve between 18-20°C. Take care to decrease the storage temperature by a couple of degrees on particularly hot summer days.
