    Piedmont

    Piedmont: Italy's Wine Royalty at Drinks House 247


    Discover Piedmont, the land of Barolo and Barbaresco. Our collection pays homage to the region'sNebbiolo-driven reds and aromatic whites, reflecting the foothills of the Italian Alps.

    A Guide to Piedmont

    Piedmont, in north-west Italy, sits at the foot of the Alps. Its most famous wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, are made from Nebbiolo, a grape named after the autumn fog (nebbia) that rolls over the Langhe hills at harvest.

    Nebbiolo

    Nebbiolo is pale in the glass but powerful, with firm tannins and bright acidity. Its classic aromas are "tar and roses": cherry, rose petal, liquorice and, with age, truffle and leather. Browse more Nebbiolo.

    Barbaresco and Barolo

    Barbaresco must be aged for at least two years before release, Barolo for at least three. Barbaresco is often a little more fragrant and approachable; Barolo is broader and firmer.

    Gaja

    The Gaja family has made wine in Barbaresco since 1859. Angelo Gaja brought the region worldwide fame and pioneered single-vineyard wines and modern techniques. We stock Gaja Barbaresco in half bottles, standard bottles, magnums and a 3L double magnum, plus Gaia & Rey, one of Italy's most celebrated Chardonnays.

    White Piedmont

    Gavi, made from the Cortese grape, is crisp, citrusy and lightly mineral, ideal with seafood. Try Castello di Tassarolo.

    Serving and pairing

    Decant young Barbaresco for one to two hours and serve at 16–18°C in a large glass. Most improve for 10–20 years. Pair with truffle pasta, risotto, braised beef and aged cheeses. Explore more Italian wine.
