Vintage Report

2020 was an excellent vintage for Piedmont, rated 94 points by Robert Parker. The conditions were very favorable, resulting in wines with good balance and character.

Our Review

I always find Piedmont wines where creaminess, acidity and tannins come together very interesting. You often see this in Nebbiolo / Barbera blends. Coincidentally, this grape, Albarossa, is a cross between those two. This cross also brings some Cabernet-like characteristics. Very tasty.

Grape and vinification

Albarossa – Piedmont
Albarossa is a cross of Nebbiolo and Barbera, developed in Piedmont. The grape combines the color and freshness of Barbera with the structure of Nebbiolo.

Vinification takes place with controlled fermentation to achieve optimal extraction of color and structure. Subsequently, the wine matures in wood to refine the tannins and add extra complexity.

Character and style

In the glass, this Piemonte Albarossa displays a deep ruby red color. The wine is known for aromas of dark fruit, spice, and subtle earthy notes. The structure is firm, with clear but ripe tannins and fresh acidity that provide balance.

Serve around 16–18 °C to allow the fruit and structure to come into their own optimally.
