Piedmont, Italy
In North West Italy, the word Piemonte literally means 'foot of the mountain' with the Alps surrounding the region and influencing many aspects of the Vineyards here. There are over 50 Appellations of whites and reds, but this area is famed for its Barolo from the Nebbiolo grape as one of the most robust and long lasting wines of the world.
There are now also lighter styles and Barbaresco and Dolcetto are alternatives that too make amazing wines unlike anywhere else. We are fortunate enough to also have a selection of outstanding Whites from this region which are very exciting.

Vigneti Massa
Barbera ‘Bigolla’ DOC 2003, Piedmont, Italy
Aged in French oak for 18-22 months, this is a supreme example of the often overlooked Barbera grape. Plush and opulent in the mouth, it borders on the hedonistic with lashings of jammy black fruit, dark cherries, spice, pepper, forest floor, and savory overtones. Seemingly immortal, even from this vintage.

Vigneti Massa Timorasso ‘Sterpi’ 2015, Piedmont, Italy
The Sterpi together with Costa del Vento are the top crus from Vigneti Massa. Sterpi come from younger vines but the main difference with his “brother” Costa is due to the soil. Here the soil is stony-calcareous, this gives to timorasso grape a unique character and sharp minerality. Like Costa only 5.000 bottles produced every year, a rarity among rarities!
