Tasting Today - Wines of Piedmont - 1:00 - 7:00pm
Today we will be pouring wines from one of our favorite regions, Piedmont. This northern Italian region is home to the prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco wines, but there are tons of fantastic wines at friendlier prices that totally over deliver in complexity and quality. Beautifully “Old World” with power and finesse, these wines aren’t to be missed.
We’ll begin the tasting with our one white of the day made from the Arneis grape. Seen almost exclusively in Piedmont, this grape makes wines that are crisp and dry but with a great mouthfeel and wonderful stone fruit flavors. From there we have a pair of Barberas with the first presenting more earthy and rustic and the second offering elegance and depth. After that we have a Nebbiolo that celebrates the grape varieties dual nature of power and delicacy. Finally we’ll finish things off with a Piedmont inspired blend from California that shows how the Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes present when grown in a warmer, “New World” region. It’s a cool juxtaposition and point of reference. This should be a fun one.
We hope to see you this afternoon.
