Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Ruby red color. The bouquet on the nose shows notes of ripe sweet fruits, likeraspberries, plums and cherries. On the palate sour cherry, raspberry coulis andsoft tannins create this very approachable wine with an abundance of tangy redfruit and a savory spiciness. Refreshing acidity on the finish.

Ideal with simple pasta or pizza and grilled sausages.

Castelvero

Castelvero is named after the Antica Contea di Castelvero, a count who once lived on the hills near Castel Boglione, and has carried this name since 1970.The Castelvero philosophy is to pursue the highest possible quality in the vineyard. Most of the work is done manually, including the rigorous grape selection that takes place during the harvest.A team of three agronomists apply vineyard management techniques with low environmental impact and use organic methods wherever possible. Castelvero has the capacity to vinify even the smallest lots individually, and wines from each site are handled separately.

Piedmont Red Wine

View all products

Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.

But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.

Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
