Piedmont (or Piemonte in Italian) is one of the most popular Italian wine regions and is located in the northwest corner of Italy in the foothills of the Alps.
The red Nebbiolo grape is king in the hilly region called Langhe. The famed wines of Barolo and Barbaresco are made totally from Nebbiolo. The grape creates a sneaky combination of finesse and power; aromatic, delicate aromas of rose petals, yet with distinctly muscular palate-staining tannins. Other red wines produced in the region are usually made from the Barbera and Dolcetto grape.
Currently some of the most popular wines of Italy with many consumers are sweet ones named after the area called Asti. "Asti Spumante" is made by the charmat method of production in which the wines undergo secondary fermentation in tank and then are bottled under pressure. They wines typically use a Champagne-style cork enclosure. Moscato d'Asti also is produced in this region and is made in a frizzante or slightly-sparkling style.
The dry white wines of Piedmont are typically made from Arneis or Cortese. Some wines made with Cortese are often labeled "Gavi" after the area in Piedmont in which they are made.
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2022 The 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba Bric del Salto is bursting with character. Dark red/blue fruit, lavender, rose petal and spice all race out of the glass. The 2021 is marked by intense, deep fruit, yet it also has a good deal of energy driving the balance. Sweet floral accents lift the finish. (Antonio Galloni)
VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2022 The 2021 Dogliani Papà Celso is packed with the essence of blueberry jam, incense, licorice, tobacco, chocolate and scorched earth. Inky and opulent to the core, the 2021 is once again one of the most heady, exotic wines in Dogliani, a true original. Give the potent tannins a year or two to soften. (Antonio Galloni)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2022 The 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba is quite understated in this vintage. As always, the use of stems in the Dolcetto lends floral and savory brightness that is quite attractive and distinctive. Medium in body and gracious, the 2021 is an absolute delight. In 2021, the style favors energy and tension over richness. The Dolcetto was done entirely in tank. (Antonio Galloni)JD9090 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 5/4/2023 From vines in both Verduno and Roddi, the 2021 Dolcetto D’Alba is a youthful yet transparent purple, with fresh black raspberry, violet, and crushed rock. Medium-bodied and well-structured, with plum, turned earth, and fresh acidity, I love this for fresh drinking over the next few years. (Audrey Frick)
