I’m a true wild card, a juggler in the hands of winemakers!
I’m one of Piedmont’s oldest and most important grape varieties.
Sometimes still, sometimes sparkling. Sweet or dry. Young or aged. With me, you’ll always discover something new and exciting!
Let me introduce myself: my berries are black or blue with sweet, juicy pulp.
Where do I thrive? You’ll mostly find me in Piedmont, but I also thrive in Lombardy, Veneto, Trentino, and Basilicata!
Here I give my best: I give my best in Monferrato, Asti, the Langhe, and the Collina Torinese area (Chieri).
Where do I shine? You can find me in 13 DOC and 14 IGT wines.
My signature wine
I shine in several DOCs across Piedmont!
Did you know? I’m incredibly versatile—sometimes still, sometimes sparkling. I can be sweet or dry, young or aged.
My wines have aromas of raspberry and rose, with hints of spices and pepper. I’m full-bodied, with firm tannins and bright acidity.
