PIEDMONT
The Italian word "Piedmont" means at the foot of the mountains, and indeed the whole region is dominated by the Alps to the north and the west.

The most well known wines from Piedmont include Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape, and Asti Spumante, made from the Moscato grape. Nebbiolo is the undisputed king of the grape varieties in Piedmont but you should not ignore the lovely reds from the indigenous Dolcetto or Barbera, nor indeed...

TASTING NOTES
A restrained nose with notes of cumin and coconut. On the palate, a dry, richly textured and full bodied announces itself. There is a vein of pure minerality underpinning a palate of black fruits, roasted herbs, coffee and spice. Though reserved and unknit at present, the sheer intensity, length and vitality of this Sperss is exhilarating. Potentially one of the...
