The Collector's Series - Piedmont



"The lure of Barolo and Barbaresco is unmatched. There are few Italian wines that can share the same table with the greatest wines of France, the United States, and the rest of the world"

Antonio Galloni

Piedmont, in North-West Italy, is an area we are particularly fond of here. The rolling hills, or “Langhe”, in this region produces wines possessing some of the most ethereal aromas and flavours coupled with a mysterious power and prose which are seldom found outside this tiny pocket of the world.  For those of us who have experienced the noble wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, there is no turning back. 

“Tar & Roses” is the line one often hears when discussing these beautiful wines, and clichés are usually repeated for good reason.  These descriptors in tandem perfectly sum up the enthralling dichotomy these wines proffer:  the most delicate, feminine, floral notes interlaced with earthy, masculine, powerful foundations, underlined by some of the silkiest textures to be found.  Typically crystalline and ruby-hued, these wines belie their first impressions of “light red wine”, and continually stun and amaze with their fine yet powerful tannins and age-worthiness.  Surely not to be missed in any wine collection.

We very proudly represent some of the most incredible producers of the region, namely Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, and Giacomo Fenocchio.  As we are such champions of the wines of Piedmont, both in our personal preferences and commercial endeavours, we are pleased to have a customer base who have also been ensnared by the charms of these wines.  Thanks to their fastidious collecting habits we have a unique opportunity to offer you a range of vintages and wines from some of their personal reserves. 

Demand for these highly sought after wines is set to be extremely high, so please check with your account manager or email us to find the most up to date list of available wines and indeed to ensure you are one of the first to know each time a new theme is released.
