Le Brunate

Piedmont, Italy, is renowned for its iconic red wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape, as well as Barbera, Dolcetto, and the crisp white Gavi (Cortese). Located at the foot of the Alps, Piedmont experiences a continental climate with cold winters, warm summers, and significant diurnal temperature variation. Its diverse terroir includes rolling hills with calcareous clay, marl, and sandy soils that result in the best expressions of Nebbiolo in the world. Their wine traditions and age-ability teach us a lot about tannin management with low color varietals.
