What to Expect

Barbaresco is a wine that shares much with its close neighbor Barolo. Both are made with the Nebbiolo grape and from nearly contiguous plots of vines in Piedmont. The slightly warmer climate of Barbaresco, and resulting earlier harvest, makes these wines a touch lighter and less complex than Barolo, if more elegant and earlier maturing. They share much the same flavor profile with their siblings though tend to be less intense.

Dolcetto is a wine to be drunk fresh when released in order to enjoy the fresh fruit character. Medium-bodied and always a wine to enjoy with pizza, aged cheeses, olives or cured meats.
