Piedmont & Beyond
An Overview
For Piedmont enthusiasts, the last few years have been a real treat. A succession of very fine vintages, culminating in one of the very best in recent memory has left lovers of this regal region spoilt for choice. Stealing the headlines in recent months has been the response to the release of the superb 2021s. A modicum of research on the vintage reveals a raft of glowing reviews, with terms such as ‘exceptional’, ‘stellar’ and even ‘modern benchmark’ being suggested. Hugely respected critic Antonio Galloni is unequivocal in his praise, stating “2021 is a superb vintage for Barolo”. Well, the question is, should you believe the hype? Yes, you should. Why? The growing conditions were excellent for Nebbiolo. Factor in the presence of an ambitious, new generation of growers and winemakers, keen to make their mark, and you have all the makings of an exciting set of releases.
Recognised as completing a trilogy of excellent vintages, 2021 looks to have raised the bar but we’re also able to offer Riserva level Barolo from 2019, younger Langhe from 2023 and 2024, while away from Nebbiolo we have Barbera d ’Alba and the rare varietal, Pelaverga.
Piedmont & Beyond
With ideal growing conditions for Nebbiolo and enthusiastic acclaim from critics, recent vintages in Piedmont have been hailed as very good right through to superb for 2021. We were thrilled during recent tastings by the quality on offer from all our producers. Their wines show a beautiful balance of energy, elegance and aromatic intensity.
