Piedmont new releases

Lemon verbena and white peach notes are displayed on the nose with a grapefruit acidity that gives a vibrancy to the core. Attractive phenolics help contribute structure to this enjoyable Arneis. This white wine is more concentrated than the nose may suggest, leaving you tasting this rather moreish Arneis for quite a while on the finish.

This single vineyard Moscato is one of the most enticing and joyful examples of Moscato d’Asti, demonstrating wonderful balance and energy. There are attractive peach and mandarin notes that are supported further by lemon verbena and pink grapefruit.

With only 6000 bottles produced, this 2019 sparkling is precise and very linear. White blossom, crushed shells as well as a nervy acidity produce a wine that is razor focused. At only 4 grams dosage, the wine is savoury and rather refreshing.

A grape variety saved from extinction by Mauro’s dad, Giovanni. He worked with the University of Turin, and planted the vineyard in 1982. It comes originally from Liguria, and would have followed the salt road between the two regions. This is textured and finessed, and there’s lovely purity here. It’s very complex, with delicacy and length. Brill.

A tiny production white, made from 30+ year old Chardonnay from the Pira Vineyard, alongside a little white Nebbiolo. This is exotic and generous, with lots of texture and almond kernel on the finish.
