Piedmont wine

Piedmont is famous for creating a wide range of high-quality wines, including:

Arneis: A dry and medium-bodied white wine featuring pear, peach and almond flavours. It pairs well with seafood and light pasta dishes.

Asti Spumante: This semi-sweet and aromatic fully sparkling wine is made from the Moscato Bianco grape. With hints of ripe peach, apricot and honey flavours, it can be served as a dessert wine or enjoyed on its own.

Barbaresco: This iconic red wine is also made using Nebbiolo grapes from the Langhe region, but they’re exclusive to the town of Barbaresco. These reds are more approachable than Barolo, with elegant red fruit, violets and spiced flavours.

Barbera: The Barbera grape is Piedmont’s most planted grape variety. Winemakers use it to make medium-full-bodied red wines known for their bright acidity and vibrant notes of black cherry, plum and blackberry. Some of the best Barbera wines come from the Barbera d’Alba and Barbera d’Asti appellations.

Barolo: Made from native Nebbiolo grapes from the hilly Langhe region, Barolo is also known as the ‘King of Wines’. This prestigious red has complex rose, red cherry, tar and truffle flavours. These wines often feature robust tannins and have excellent ageing potential – upwards of 15 years for some vintages.

Dolcetto: An easy-drinking, everyday wine, Dolcetto is a fruity red with low tannins, making it one of Piedmont’s most food-friendly options.

Gavi: Made from the Cortese grape in the Gavi region of Piedmont, Gavi is a crisp white wine with a bright acidity. It has flavours of citrus, green apple and white flowers and can be paired with a broad range of dishes.

Moscato d’Asti: An aromatic, lightly sparkling wine made from the Moscato Bianco grape. With notes of apricot, white peach and orange blossom, it’s perfect for serving with dessert or on its own as an aperitif.

Nebbiolo d’Alba: Another red made from Nebbiolo grapes, but it’s not as famous as Barolo and Barbaresco. Typically enjoyed young, it showcases the grape’s character without the extensive ageing.

Piedmont wines are as diverse in their taste profiles as they are in styles:

Barolo: With its high tannins and acidity, Barolo pairs well with rich, hearty dishes like truffle risotto, braised beef, or mature cheeses.

Barbaresco: This wine is versatile with food, pairing well with grilled meats, game, rich pasta dishes and aged cheeses.

Barbera: The high acidity and dark fruit flavours make Barbera an excellent match for tomato-based pasta dishes, pizza, roast poultry and medium cheeses.

Dolcetto: Its juicy fruitiness pairs well with everyday dishes like pizza, pasta, grilled chicken and a variety of cheeses.

Moscato d'Asti: The sweetness and light fizz of Moscato d'Asti make it perfect for pairing with fruity desserts, pastries or blue cheese.

Gavi: Gavi's high acidity and citrus notes make it a good match for light seafood dishes, grilled white fish or fresh salads.
