Piedmont (or Piemonte in Italian) is one of the most popular Italian wine regions and is located in the northwest corner of Italy in the foothills of the Alps.
The red Nebbiolo grape is king in the hilly region called Langhe. The famed wines of Barolo and Barbaresco are made totally from Nebbiolo. The grape creates a sneaky combination of finesse and power; aromatic, delicate aromas of rose petals, yet with distinctly muscular palate-staining tannins. Other red wines produced in the region are usually made from the Barbera and Dolcetto grape.
Currently some of the most popular wines of Italy with many consumers are sweet ones named after the area called Asti. "Asti Spumante" is made by the charmat method of production in which the wines undergo secondary fermentation in tank and then are bottled under pressure. They wines typically use a Champagne-style cork enclosure. Moscato d'Asti also is produced in this region and is made in a frizzante or slightly-sparkling style.
The dry white wines of Piedmont are typically made from Arneis or Cortese. Some wines made with Cortese are often labeled "Gavi" after the area in Piedmont in which they are made.

WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/15/2006 Creamy froth is short-lived but the peach and mineral notes come through clean and sharp followed by zest and soothing swetness in the mouth. One of Italy’s most recognized brands presents its most famous sweet sparkler; that’s always a joy to revisit.

WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2021 Made with organically grown grapes, this has delicate, enticing aromas reminiscent of ripe white stone fruit, crushed mint, pineapple and freshly made bread dough. On the linear, savory palate, notes of bitter almond and ginger accent a core of Bartlett pear and lemon drop before a tangy mineral close.
RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 23rd Jul 2020 This is a terrific expression that puts emphasis on elegance and streamlined intensity. As far as this normally plump and succulent grape goes, the Trediberri 2019 Barbera d’Alba is lightweight in texture and luminous in appearance. The wine offers a more compact interpretation that ultimately delivers great clarity and grape purity. Tart berry and white cherry segue to light spice and herbal accents of dried mint and basil.

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 17th Jun 2021 This is one of the most accessible and trustworthy wines you can buy from Piedmont. Keeping in line with past vintages, the G.D. Vajra 2017 Barolo Albe opens to medium concentration and a very expressive or fruit-forward bouquet. This hot-climate 2017 edition shows a little more ripeness and roundness as is to be expected, but these results are a safe bet nonetheless. Cherry and raspberry aromas are followed by blue flower and pressed violets. Set this bottle aside for medium or long-term drinking. Production is an ample 40,000 bottles.WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2021 Red berry, rose and camphor aromas waft out of the glass. Tangy and delicious, the smooth, full-bodied palate doles out ripe Marasca cherry, fleshy raspberry and hints of ground baking spice framed in taut, polished tannins. It’s already accessible but also has good midterm aging potential. Drink 2022–2029.JD9393 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 5/27/2021 The 2017 Barolo Albe has generous aromas of fresh black cherry, dried roses, baking spice, and tar. The palate has concentration of fruit that remains fresh with tension, noted by dried cranberry, orange zest, and cocoa. Once again, this wine proves a great value that well over-delivers for an entry Barolo. Drink 2021–2036.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2021 This red is light on its feet, exhibiting rose, strawberry, cherry, mint and iron flavors. Comes together with the bright acidity and civilized tannins, creating a harmonious impression. Best from 2023 through 2035. 3,800 cases made.JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, July 2, 2021 Fresh and floral aromas with plum, orange peel and some cedar follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Very drinkable now, but will improve with age.VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 The 2017 Barolo Albe is exquisite. Bright and beautifully lifted, the 2017 Albe is a wine of pure and total pleasure. All the elements come together so gracefully. Crushed flowers, red berries, mint, cinnamon and lavender are some of the many notes that open in the glass. The 2017 is so nicely done in the way it captures the radiance of the year and the classicism that runs through all these wines. Vineyard sites are Fossati, Costa di Vergne and Le Volte.WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/21 Albe combines fruit from the Vaira family’s high elevation vineyards in the Barolo commune, an advantage in the warmth of 2017. The wine’s ripe cherry flavors are brightened by notes of licorice and orange peel, and the smooth texture gains verve and depth with exposure to air. It’s hard to beat this for by-the-glass programs.
RP9797 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 23rd Jul 2020 Sadly, we are seeing the last vintages of this wine that is expected to be discontinued after the 2018 vintage. The Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo Carobric represents a historic blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dël Fiasc. Because the lease on Cannubi was not renewed, Carobric lost one of its fundamental building blocks. Cannubi brought richness, generous flavors and textural suppleness to the final blend. If you are a fan of this wine, I suggest you stock up on this vintage that is poised to be one of the most memorable and age-worthy among this group of final releases. This classic vintage is rich with dark fruit, licorice, truffle-infused earth and a pretty touch of sweet hazelnut cream.VN95+95+ pts. - Vinous - Jun 2020 The 2016 Barolo Carobric is fabulous. Nervous and tightly wound, the Carobric offers up a beguiling mix of crushed flowers, herbs, mint and red berry fruit. There is a feeling of explosive energy that runs through the 2016 that gives its tremendous appeal. Carobric, a blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric del Fiasc, is a bit less showy than some of the other Barolos in the Scavino range, but it has historically aged beautifully. I expect that will be the case here as well.SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 16, 2020 This aromatic red boasts licorice, macerated cherry, rose and vanilla scents and flavors. A showy version, this is opulent and velvety in texture, offering fine concentration and firming up on the finish, where an accent of sweet spice lingers. Best from 2023 through 2042. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported.
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2015 Dark red cherry, plum, spice, tobacco and underbrush are some of the many notes that flesh out in Scavino’s 2011 Barolo Carobric. Here, too, the style is soft and silky, very much in keeping with the personality of the year. The Carobric often shows a little more angularity when young, but the 2011 is already quite open. Carobric is a blend of fruit from Cannubi, Rocche dell’Annunziata and Bric del Fiasc.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016 The Paolo Scavino 2011 Barolo Carobric is a silky wine that exhibits fine texture and a long, polished finish. The bouquet is elegant and unique in that it offers a tangible mineral note of crushed granite, which frames the generous fleshiness and density of the dark fruit. This Barolo offers an impressive level of aromatic intensity and vertical lift. It exhibits both grace and power.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Mar 31, 2016 A tightly wound style, with definition to the cherry, strawberry, licorice, spice and mineral flavors. Intense, yet elegant and long on the stony, chalky finish with fine harmony. Best from 2018 through 2030. 1,083 cases made.
JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, July 5, 2021 There’s such purity of fruit to this with both dried and ripe strawberries and citrus rind. It’s full-bodied and structured with layers of ripe tannins that are fine and polished. Tight at the end. Give this two or three years to open and soften. Try in 2024.RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 17th Jun 2021 This is one of the most versatile wines to emerge from Italy in recent years. A bread and butter winner for Vietti, the 2017 Barolo Castiglione is sharply contoured and bright, with an excellent quality of fruit that can be described as crisp, tonic and rich. That extra concentration comes in part from the hot vintage; however, the greater Castiglione growing area delivers consistent quality and persistence above all else.JD9393 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 5/27/2021 Castiglione is from a collection of vineyards across Barolo, from vines that are 10 to 45 years old. Each of the parcels are fermented and aged separately prior to the final blending and are aged for approximately 30 months in oak casks and barriques. The 2017 Barolo Castiglione has pure aromas of fennel, fresh cherry, and cinnamon. Balanced and energetic on the palate, there is ripe cranberry, blood orange, and dried roses, with fine tannins. Vibrant and approachable out of the gate, this is a wonderful entry from the Vietti estate. Drink 2021–2034.VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 The 2017 Barolo Castiglione is a wild, exotic wine. Super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, tobacco, new leather and rose petal all flesh out in this ample, voluptuous Barolo from Vietti. The 2017 is a wine of significant heft hidden behind a wall of tannin. Give it a few years to soften or open it well in advance. Time brings out striking translucence as well as finesse.
