Piedmont Wines
Piedmont sits at the foot of the Alps in north-west Italy, where misty autumn mornings, rolling Langhe hills, and a winemaking tradition stretching back centuries combine to produce some of the country's most sought-after bottles. This is where Italian wine reaches its peak of elegance and complexity.
Barolo and the Noble Nebbiolo of Piedmont
Barolo is Piedmont's crown jewel - a wine of extraordinary power and refinement made exclusively from Nebbiolo, a grape that produces pale, translucent colour but astonishing depth of flavour. We carry expressions that show different facets of the Langhe's terroir. The Cascina Adelaide Barolo 2020 offers classic rose-petal and tar aromatics with firm, fine-grained tannins that will evolve beautifully over the coming years. The Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric Barolo 2018 from a top single-vineyard site delivers even greater complexity and ageing potential.
The Veglio Angelo Barolo Foje d'Autun 2019 rounds out our Barolo offering - from a family estate where traditional winemaking meets thoughtful, modern precision. These are Piedmont wines of real ambition.
Barbera, Gavi, and Piedmont's Other Treasures
Nebbiolo gets the headlines, but Piedmont's other grapes are equally compelling. Barbera is the region's most widely planted red - generous, fruit-forward, and with the bright acidity that makes it one of Italy's best food wines. Our Olim Bauda Le Rocchette Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2021 is a superb example: ripe dark cherry, subtle spice from oak ageing, and a long, vibrant finish.
For white Piedmont, Gavi - made from Cortese - delivers crisp, mineral-driven whites that are among Italy's finest. The Olim Bauda Gavi del Comune di Gavi 2024 and the Ke Bonta Gavi 2024 both show why this appellation deserves wider recognition - precise, elegant, and beautifully fresh.
Pairing Piedmont Wines with Food
Piedmont is one of Italy's greatest food regions - truffles, tajarin pasta, brasato, and Castelmagno cheese - and its wines are built to stand alongside that culinary tradition:
- Barolo with slow-braised beef in Barolo sauce (brasato al Barolo) - the classic regional pairing that rewards every sip
- Barbera d'Asti with hand-rolled tajarin pasta and butter sauce - the wine's bright acidity lifts the richness
- Gavi with vitello tonnato (cold veal with tuna sauce) - the wine's mineral freshness complements this Piedmontese classic
- Aged Barolo with white truffle risotto - the wine's complexity rises to meet the truffle's extraordinary aroma
From powerful Barolos to crisp Gavis, this collection captures the full spectrum of what Piedmont offers. Explore further with our Italian wines collection, or dive into our fine wines for more bottles worth cellaring. We have tasted every one - discover your favourite with confidence.
