Laurent Barkowski CONSORTIUM i vini del piemonte “I Vini del Piemonte” is a Consortium that brings together more than 150 Piedmontese companies producing wines with designation of origin. Founded in 2011, by the will of the producers themselves, it aims at enhancing and better communicating the incredible heritage of the men and women who have produced the wine with great passion and expertise, as well as the richness and uniqueness of the wines of Piedmont. Today, the Consortium has become a reference point for small and medium-sized wine companies that wish to expand their presence in foreign markets. 4 Inspired by a true “team spirit”, the Consortium, in recent years, has based its entire activity on the belief that joining forces may be the best move to make an impression on the various world markets. With a programme of some 30 events organized each year in over 15 countries, the Consortium “I Vini del Piemonte” has obtained great success all around the world, presenting the Piedmontese wines to thousands of wine lovers and offering them the opportunity to personally meet the producers of the top quality wine products from the area (Barbaresco, Barbera, Dolcetto, Ruché, Arneis...) and above all one of the most famous wines in the world: Barolo, the maximum expression of a territory unique for quality and with its variety of designations.

In just a few years, in some countries, Barolo & Friends has become the most important event of the year for the wine sector. [email protected] www.ivinidelpiemonte.it www.baroloevent.com 5 ph. Andrea Mucelli PIEDMONT: WINE EXCELLENCE Surrounded by the Alps, in the very north-west region of Italy, and sharing a border with France, Piedmont is the second largest region in the country by surface area. The regional landscape also features a great number of rivers like Po, a major Italian river, which originates from the Piedmontese Alps from where beautiful lakes, including Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, take their source. At about the same latitude as other areas particularly suited for the production of great wines, such as Burgundy, Bordeaux and Tokaji, Piedmont has the typical continental climate: cold winters (we are in a land also famous for skiing) and hot summers with large temperature differences between day and night. Turin, a city rich in history and an amazing example of Baroque architecture, is the region’s capital, but the provinces of Cuneo and Asti are definitely the true cradles of wine production. At the foot of the mountains, the seemingly endless hills form a natural amphitheatre which almost encompasses the whole regional territory, slowly sloping towards the Po Valley. And it is right on these hills that the great wines of Piedmont are born: the excellence of Italian production. • London alba cuneo alessandria Bormida • Rome Tanaro 6 The area lies between the city of Ivrea and the border with the Aosta Valley; the most common varieties are Nebbiolo and especially Erbaluce, which yield interesting whites and excellent straw wines. Thanks to a substrate with volcanic origins, particularly acidic, rich in iron and low in calcium, the Nebbiolo grape variety, locally named Spanna, finds its perfect habitat here. hills around torino Includes all the hilly territory surrounding the city of Torino, once almost entirely planted with vines; here mainly Freisa and Malvasia are grown. Po Tanaro Bormida hills of gavi Langhe, Roero and Monferrato Po asti hills around novara and vercelli • Berlin • Paris Torino Canavese Located in the south-east part of the province of Alessandria, these are curvy and sweet hills, with clay and compact soils. The land of white tuff and the influence of sea air determine a natural acidity and special flavourings. The most common vine varieties are Barbera and Cortese. These are the areas where the greatest wines of Piedmont come from, among which Barolo and Barbaresco. Here, in these hills, which form a unique landscape, the most historic and highest quality vineyards are concentrated. To these areas are added distinct sub areas with different altitude and soil nature; among these the most famous is Alta Langa, from which a famous DOCG takes its name. 7 ph. Roberto Faccenda World Heritage Territory It was to remain blinded to want to stare at the blue sky in May, welded to the crest of the hills, bare, except crystallized snow. An irresistible attraction, with the glare from that line that seemed to be the frontier of the world, from up there you could dive endlessly. Nature and then man afterwards have both shaped a landscape like no other, where the hills are combed by a breathtaking expanse of vineyards. A surface area of eleven thousand hectares, distributed among 29 municipalities in the provinces of Asti, Alessandria and Cuneo, recognized as a “Cultural Landscape” by UNESCO, that, in June 2014, included them in its list of World Heritage sites. Special appreciation is the exceptional nature of wine culture. There are a good six places under protection: the Barolo Langa, the Castle of Grinzane Cavour, the Barbaresco hills, Nizza Monferrato with Barbera, Canelli and Asti Spumante, Monferrato and its infernot (cellars carved into the tuff). Beppe Fenoglio A Day of Fire 8 Langhe Monferrato Hills that almost seamlessly form the province of Cuneo lap the area around Asti. They are areas of excellence for winemaking worldwide, where a special alchemy between soil (marl, clay, limestone) and climate is the ideal habitat of Nebbiolo, a vine variety that knows how to express itself only in very few territories and which reaches its peak in the bottles of Barolo and Barbaresco. Rolling hills that form the right bank of the Po River, lead to the Ligurian Apennines. The soil composition ranges from the “white soils” of the Alto Monferrato, suitable for white grapes, to the sandy soils of the Asti area, suitable for simple and readily consumed wines, and to the limestone soils of the Basso Monferrato, the realm of Barbera. Alta Langa A hilly area that descends from the right of the Tanaro River to Liguria, through the provinces of Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria. High and wooded hills make arduous growing grapes. The soil is best expressed in the production of sparkling wines. Roero The area on the left bank of Tanaro is characterized by deep gorges and picturesque badlands, generated by the erosive action of the river. The soil is sandy and high in limestone with deposits of fossilised shells which, together with scarce rainfall, contributes to the production of elegant wines. 9 ph. Eirik Solheim A UNIQUE VARIETY OF GRAPES A “native vine variety” indicates a vine variety not transplanted from other areas, but grown in the area of origin of the grape itself. These varieties present their own distinctive features: shape, colour of bunches, grapes and leaves, but especially give the wine peculiar and unique organoleptic characteristics. These are the real wealth of a territory, and make it unique and unrepeatable. Italy boasts some 350 native vine varieties: a good 34 are exclusive to Piedmont and help to make this region unique for its originality and above all quality. White Berry barbera Popular and highly widespread vine variety, the marked acidity and almost absent tannin are its peculiarities. Cultivated almost all over the regional territory, it is the most typical expression of Monferrato and of the DOCG Nizza. At the nose it gives hints of flowers and fruit. It is also grown in the Langhe area, where it becomes Barbera d’Alba and it is more powerful and presents spicy notes. arneis erbaluce Vine already mentioned in 1400 after being almost completely forgotten. It rediscovered its glory in the 1980s, and now represents a large slice of the Roero vineyard and is a landmark of the Roero area. Fresh and with the characteristic and intense fragrance of acacia flowers, it is pleasant when drunk young, but can give unexpected surprises if you wait a few years. Its high acidity expresses well in the sparkling version and especially in the straw wines. Widespread in the Canavese area and in small part also on the hills around Novara, it is a versatile vine that, for its pronounced acidity, lends itself to different interpretations. In the “still” version, it is pleasant with a strong personality. In the sparkling version, it is characterized by a fresh pleasantness. But the straw version is possibly the most interesting, with the wines having intense and appealing aromas and impressive longevity. cortese moscato bianco Another grape widespread in Piedmont, especially in Langa (Dogliani and Farigliano both excellent) and in Basso Monferrato. Versatile wine, capable of pairing a meal all by itself, it stands out for its very dark ruby colour, almost black, and for its characteristic scent of cherry. Rich in tannin, which softens with age, the wines made with the Dolcetto grapes boast great flavour and texture. Widespread in Langhe and Roero, where it produces simple and pleasant to drink wines. However, its territory of choice is the area of Gavi, in the last foothills south of the province of Alessandria, almost on the border with Liguria. Here elegant wines with strong features and mineral notes are produced. In the large and diverse family of Moscato, the white or Asti is not only the progenitor, but surely the point of excellence. If Canelli can be considered the capital, the entire Monferrato and a good part of Langhe are home to its rows. It is one of the few wine grapes that are also suitable for consumption at the table, and presents remarkable aromatic notes, which characterize the wines produced with it. One of the oldest varieties of Piedmont, once widely cultivated, especially in the Torino hills. Currently, it finds its area of election in Chieri (not far from Torino) and to a lesser extent in the Asti area. It is generally produced in two versions: sparkling, to be drunk young and pleasantly fresh, or still, with more complexity. 10 You know there’s something of you in the people and the plants and the soil, that even when you are not there it waits to welcome you. Black Berry Cesare Pavese grignolino dolcetto A very ancient grape, documents speak of it as early as 1200, spread throughout Monferrato and particularly in the area of Casale. It has more seeds than other varieties: a feature that gives the wine a strong tannic note in contrast to its very drained colour. Nebbiolo We are in front of one of the most important grape varieties not only in Italy but in the world, which finds its ideal habitat in very few areas of the world, almost all in Piedmont. In the north of the region, it gives fine and elegant wines like Ghemme, Gattinara and Carema. In the province of Cuneo we find it in Roero and especially in the Langhe of Barolo and Barbaresco, where the strong tannic element of the grapes elegantly join together to produce wines that evolve and improve over the years. freisa 11 A Mosaic of Excellence The label on each bottle of wine contains accurate information in order to inform the consumer about the product. The current EC legislation brings together under the acronym PDO (Protected Designation of Origin, DOP in Italian) DOC and DOCG wines, acronyms that may still be yet specified on the label. Vine variety and territory: this is the winning combination that characterizes the wines of Piedmont. Each area has unique features that enhance the native vines and give great products to those who have the chance to discover it. Here are the most important wines. ph.

For the possible 10% grapes from authorized vine varieties in the production areas can be used. It is the only sparkling wine in Italy to be produced exclusively in the millesimato variety. 100% Nebbiolo Garnet red, which can show orange hues with aging. At the nose, it is refined and focused on typical and elegant hints of the Nebbiolo grape: purple, plum, berry jam, spices. The tannin dominates in young wines, while it becomes more elegant with age, highlighting structure and persistence. Wine to drink after 3/4 years from the marketing, it can also withstand a long aging. The wine should be refined for at least 26 months and is produced in only four municipalities: Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. The straw yellow (or pink) colour is made brighter by a fine and persistent perlage. The classic scents of sparkling wines, linked to the crust of bread and yeast, join sensations of dried fruit, honey and citrus. In the mouth, it gives a pleasant feeling of freshness and is rich, tasty and satisfying. asti moscato d’asti barbera d’asti 100% Moscato Bianco. A minimum of 90% Barbera, other non aromatic red berry vine varieties suitable for cultivation in Piedmont to a maximum of 10%. Asti is a sparkling wine in which the aroma of the grape joins a good effervescence that balances out the sweet component well. This sparkling wine production is possible both in an autoclave and with the second fermentation in the bottle. Moscato d’Asti is lightly sparkling, less sweet and lively to taste, and rich in perfumes (with typical hints of sage, peach, citrus) and complexity. Grape composition Organoleptic description Ruby red, sometimes very intense. Fresh scents, mostly floral and fruity; it can develop complexity with aging, especially if in barrels. Dry and fresh, almost refreshing, pleasantly full-bodied. 14 ph. Bill Selak THE MAIN PIEDMONTESE DESIGNATIONs OF ORIGIN barbera del monferrato superiore brachetto d’acqui A minimum of 85% Barbera; Freisa, Grignolino and Dolcetto, alone or together up to a maximum of 15%. 100% Brachetto Transparent ruby red. Typical aromas of musk, rose, wild strawberry and orange zest. The taste is sweet, enlivened by a slight effervescence and a delicate freshness. Together with Moscato, it represents the elite of the sweet wines of Piedmont. Typical hints related to fruit and flowers are intertwined with pleasant minerals and spicy notes. Rich and powerful, but well balanced by the characteristic acidity of the grape. dogliani barolo Barolo is one of the greatest wines in the world. A real excellence: the only designation ever where its vintage was awarded a score of 100/100 by Wine Spectator (in the year 2000). 100% Dolcetto Deep and intense ruby red. Simpler and with fresh fruity aromas of cherry in the “basic” version, which is also fresh, with persistent presence of the tannin and a pleasant slightly bitter aftertaste. It develops a spicy and toasted complexity in the Superior version, which is richer and more balanced in the mouth and must have a minimum aging period of at least 12 months. 100% Nebbiolo Garnet red, which becomes orange with evolution. Complex and refined at the nose, where fruit and flowers are intertwined with spicy, toasted and mineral notes. In the mouth, it is very persistent, rich and powerful, but also elegant and balanced. Due to its characteristics, it is suitable for aging: it starts expressing its best qualities 7/8 years after harvest, and can be stored for long periods of time. The wine ages for at least 38 months and is produced in only 11 municipalities of Langhe. 15 Grape composition Organoleptic description dolcetto di diano d’alba 100% Dolcetto The colour is a rich ruby red; the fragrance is mainly driven by fruity notes, with some reference to spices; the taste is well balanced between the structure and the characteristic tannic note. gattinara ghemme roero arneis Nebbiolo (Spanna) from 90 to 100%; also the grapes from the vine varieties Vespolina to a maximum of 4% and/or Uva Rara can concur in the production of these wines, as long as they do not exceed 10% of the total quantity. At least 85% Nebbiolo (Spanna); Vespolina and Uva Rara alone or together to a maximum of 15%. Arneis at a minimum of 95%, other grapes coming from non aromatic white berry vine varieties suitable for cultivation in Piedmont to a maximum of 5%.

In the mouth, it is definitely dry, with a pleasant freshness. The wine can also be produced in a sparkling version and in an interesting straw version.

Since 1962, their philosophy remains the same: keeping with traditions, focus on quality. Nestled in Nizza Monferrato, the heart of the Barbera d’Asti district, Bersano means Territory and Vineyards. Following the motto of its founder Arturo “if you want to drink well, get yourself a vineyard”, since 1935 the winemaking techniques have constantly been refined, but the “ways” and “time” to make wine haven’t changed. A small-sized firm that offers a high-profile, extremely elegant product at a fair price. This is the project of a family whose links to Costigliole date back to the 12th century. Investing year after year in research and experimentation, their wines are a symbol of innovation with respect to tradition. Founded in 1950, the winery was one the first to recognize the potential for quality wines of the sandy soils of Roero focusing on Nebbiolo and the then almost extinct local grape variety Arneis. Rich, complex , with an amazing ageing potential yet immediately enjoyable, their wines are considered a reference for both Arneis and Roero.

The great terroir fosters naturally low-yielding vines which produce wines that are approachable while young, yet remain amongst the most concentrated and longest-lived of all Barolos. Traditional knowledge and modern production techniques, as well as patience and perseverance are at the core of Oddero’s philosophy, producing wines exclusively from family-owned vineyards, located on the “sorì” (sunny hills), where they can benefit from the best sunlight. Since many generations the real treasure of this family-run winery. Tradition makes history alive: a philosophy that has allowed the Azienda Vinicola Palladino to pass through many generations and wine trends. Always being up-to-date while remembering and honouring the strong links between wine and territory, with the compass constantly set on quality. The Ruggeri Corsini estate was founded in 1995 thanks to the passion for the countryside and the love for great wines of Loredana and Nicola. Both with a degree in Viticulture and Enology, they decided to change life, leaving their jobs to buy a small estate in Monforte d’Alba. Their dream is now in each of their wines.

The vineyards before everything else. For wines to be an authentic expression of their territory, it is necessary to trust the vineyard and lead it toward self-regulation. This has been the guideline of this four generations family-run winery, constantly evolving its business that values past experience with a serious vision of the future. In a village midway between Asti and Alba, the winery was established in 1934. Here, where the relationship between man and nature is still ruled by ancient rythms, the optimal conditions of the terroir, soil, exposure, climate, are perfect for great whites as well as the undisputed leaders of these hills: Barbera and Moscato.

The winery’s modern techniques, side by side with ancient traditional methods, simply transfer this quality to the glass. The company was established in 1976 by brothers Franco and Carlo Pontiglione and by Giuseppe Priola. Lovers as they are of their own land, they did not hesitate in relaunching the traditions and making Pelaverga, thanks also to mother nature’s generosity, one of the Langhe’s most unique wines.

Thanks to the favourable natural conditions and to the winemakers’ commitment to producing natural and carefully crafted wines, Boeri estate has been acclaimed since 1890 as one of the most accomplished Barbera producers in Piedmont. A meeting of two lives was the sparkle that ignited the passion for wine, art and hospitality that makes this winery a unique place. A physics professor and a professor at the oenology school of Alba with a lifelong commitment in arts are the creators of wines that are the perfect combination of science and art, hard work and inspiration. Determination, passion and firm ideas as well as a great and generous land capable of producing extraordinary grapes: these are the elements from which Enzo Boglietti’s wines take their soul. Each of them respect the character of their own single vineyards, always keeping a high and strict level of quality. It was the early 20th century when Evasio Garrone founded the winery that still bears his name. A name that’s a gage of quality, respect of tradition but also innovation. Twelve hectares of vineyards produce only typical wines of Monferrato, from the popular Barbera to the autochthonous Ruchè, “the wine for the special occasions”.

A marvellous adventure that demands a constantly high commitment, but is also tremendously rewarding. Fratelli Grasso, in the town of Treiso in the Barbaresco DOCG zone is owned and operated by brothers Luigi and Alfredo. Southern exposure and excellent vineyard work help the grapes fully ripen while the approach in the cellar does not add any artificiality, but maintains the maximum freshness and vitality. Montestefano, Asili, Ronchi and Cavanna. These are some of Barbaresco’s most prestigious sub-zones, in which Luigi Giordano’s small family winery has constantly invested, reaching its current seven-hectares that provide not only the best Nebbiolo grapes for their Barbaresco, but also all the great local grape varieties. Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta, one of the oldest and most respected winemaking families of Piedmont, since the mid 1800’s is devoted to the vineyards cultivation in a unique terroir: the Monferrato Hills. Since then with a constant respect of nature’s times and traditions alongside with innovative winemaking techniques.

All of them inspired by the same idea: to maximize the potential of these native grapes and this unique land. Based in Montà d’Alba the Pelassa Winery owns vineyards in both Roero and Barolo zones. Thanks to consistency in choices, commitment to the job and love and care for details, the Pelassa family believes that seeds of their love for the land can bring about truly amazing fruits. Since 1985 the company has been cultivating vineyards in Verduno and in 1993 the current owner, the wine technician Silvio Busca, together with his wife Stefania and their daughters Rebecca and Alice, decided to translate into wine the emotions he has been receiving from his vineyards, mixing experience and passion. The winery is rooted since 1867 in the medieval village of Monforte d’Alba. Its location, in a small valley in San Sebastiano district, provides the vines with a unique microclimate that is manifested in the flavour of their wines. In 2010 the winery underwent a thorough reconstruction lead by acclaimed oenologist Gianluca Colombo.

The family business, founded in 1961 has since then produced wines only from estate vineyards, joining tradition with innovation, experience and technology, taste and imagination. A sweeping view of the Alps, an old farmhouse surrounded by vineyards that meander down the slopes of the hill. Located in a landscape that is so quintessentially Monferrato, this is the place that Ruggero and Orsetta have long sought to make their dream come true: a winery where tradition meets innovation. Their dream was fulfilled. Founded in 1600, the estate is situated on the edge of a nature reserve which is included in the UNESCO world heritage list. Production focuses on indigenous varieties such as Grignolino and Barbera. The Tenuta is also a meeting place for art and culture, organising regular events aimed at intensifying the dialogue between nations. Vite Colte is hands, heads and hearts. It’s 180 farmers who cultivate 300 hectares in Piedmont, to which they dedicate the most accurate cures. Behind each Vite Colte’s wine there is a vast heritage of vineyards, the best motivated vine growers with their families, supported by modern technology and first-class technical team.
