Wine from Piemonte
Filter
Piedmont is a wine region located in Italy. The wines that are most well known include Barolo, and of course, Barbaresco. Both of these wines are produced with the Nebbiolo grape. Bordering Switzerland and France, the region is situated at the base of the alps in the foothills. To the northwest lies the Valled’Aosta, with the region of Liguaria forming the southern border that sits along the Apennines. In addition to the wide open mountainous terrain, the Po Valley consumes a large area of available land, leaving just 30% of the Piedmont region suitable for grapes. The valley and the mountains do contribute to the areas fog cover which helps rippen the Nebbiolo grape. This grape gets its name from the Piedmontese word nebbia meaning "fog.
The regions of Piedmont and Bordeux are considerably close in latitude, but are completely different. The only other thing that is similar is the temperatures during the summer months. The Piedmont wine region has a colder more continental winter climate with significantly lower rainfall. This occurs because of the rain shadow effect on the Swiss Alps. Vineyards are usually planted on hillsides with altitudes between 490–1150 feet. The warmer south facing slopes are used for Nebbiolo or Barbera, with the cooler sites planning Moscato and Dolcetoo.

Podere Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore is made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Sangiovese.
#12 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022
The olfactory impact is of considerable aromatic intensity: it expands with notes of small, fully ripe red fruits, accompanied by clear balsamic and Mediterranean hints. In progression, typical mineral notes develop. The gustatory impact is austere, of remarkable freshness and of large volume. It develops in a balanced fusion between the broad minerality and the fine and enveloping tannins. Everything is found in the long final persistence that foreshadows a long life ahead.
Goes well with game, as e.g. local preparations of wild boar, roast, braised and stewed red meats, and medium aged cheese.
Review:
Dense and smooth, featuring black cherry, blackberry, plum, iron, licorice and menthol aromas and flavors. Fresh and featuring a spine of tannins, this finishes on the compact side for now. Shows balance, so be patient. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2025.

The 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Grattamacco (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese) is a real beauty and shows very nicely today based on advancing vine age alone. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines show great results after seven years, whereas Merlot and Sangiovese vines need a few more years before they start to show that extra degree of complexity, the winemaking team tells me. This is a complete and beautifully balanced wine that shows soft extraction and especially sweet tannins. It fermented in truncated conical oak vats and finished in barrique for 18 months.

Cazaux Gigondas Tour Sarrasine is made from 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. 45 year old vines on average.
This strong, warm wine comes from a selection of grapes planted on exceptional soils. The vineyards in Gigondas are situated on the arid hills of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The Mistral blows regularly on these slopes which limits the amount of treatment needed to the vines. The vines grow on stony soils and produce wine that can be kept easily for 10 yrs.
Intense, persistent red and dark fruit aromas. Raspberry, pepper and spice flavors. Silky tannins.
