Giacomo Conterno: Giacomo Conterno is an iconic wine producer located in Monforte d'Alba. The estate is known for producing some of the absolute best and most sought-after Barolo wines, including the flagship Monfortino.

G.B. Burlotto: Burlotto is a prominent wine producer from Piemonte, located in the northernmost Barolo municipality, Verduno. The estate has a proud history and is recognized for its exceptional and elegant wines. The winery was founded in the mid-19th century and has since become known for its Ballarina-elegant wines, with the Verduno single vineyard Monvigliero as its flagship. Burlotto primarily focuses on producing Barolo wines, which are, of course, made from Nebbiolo, but they also craft other prestigious wines like Barbaresco, as well as local red grape varieties Barbera, Freisa, and Dolcetto. Burlotto's wines are known for their ability to age gracefully and develop significant complexity over time.
Alberto Voerzio: At Voerzio, innovative production methods and techniques are employed, including barrel aging in smaller barriques. Voerzio's wines are often fruity, structured, and well-balanced. He uses a combination of new and used oak barrels for maturing the wines, giving them a slightly more oak influence and helping to make them more approachable sooner than traditionally expected for the region.

The winery was founded in 1918 and remains family owned to this day. The estate has preserved its heritage and deep passion, making its wines some of the most sought-after on the market today. Unlike many other wine producers, Bartolo does not produce multiple single vineyard wines, but instead focuses on crafting one top quality Barolo. Additionally, a superb Langhe Nebbiolo is produced, as well as exciting wines from local grape varieties Barbera, Freisa, and Dolcetto.
Giuseppe Rinaldi: Giuseppe Rinaldi is considered a legend in the wine world. The winery was founded in 1870 by Giuseppe's great grandfather and remains family owned.

Frequently Asked Questions about Piemonte Wines

How long can Piemonte wines be aged?

It depends on the specific wine and, of course, the vintage. However, Barolo and Barbaresco wines generally have the potential to age anywhere from 5-10 years up to several decades. Patience can certainly pay off, as the tannin-rich wines become softer and rounder over time. Additionally, the flavor profile develops in an exciting way, with a unique composition of tertiary notes such as liqueur, dried berries, flowers, forest floor, and truffle. Other wines from the region made from grapes like Barbera and Dolcetto are best enjoyed in their youth, typically within 5 years. Nonetheless, it's always a good idea to refer to the producer's recommendations for optimal drinking times.

What is the difference between Barolo and Barbaresco?

Barolo and Barbaresco are both made from the Nebbiolo grape but come from different parts of Piemonte. Barolo is generally more structured and requires a bit more aging time, whereas Barbaresco (again, generally speaking) tends to be more elegant, approachable, and matures slightly faster. Taste-wise, they can also vary due to terroir playing a significant role in the wine's character. Therefore, it's worth exploring both areas and delving into the styles as well as the differences in the regions' single vineyards, where the unique terroir is further expressed.

What food pairs best with Piemonte wines?

Barolo and Barbaresco pair well with red meat, game, and mature cheeses. Proteins have the effect of softening the tannins, thereby enhancing the wine's fruitiness and juiciness. Barbera pairs nicely with pasta, grilled meat, and dishes with cheese and tomato sauces. Moscato is fantastic as an aperitif and can also be paired with fruit and berry desserts, as the wine is both fresh and offers a complementary sweetness.
