Collection: Wines of Piemonte

Piemonte produces some of Italy’s most distinctive and age-worthy wines, from structured Nebbiolo and Barolo to vibrant Barbera, aromatic whites and lighter everyday reds. The range here focuses on expressive growers making wines with freshness, balance and strong regional character.

Piemonte is one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions, known for producing some of the country’s most age-worthy and distinctive wines from the rolling hills of north-west Italy. Best known for Barolo and Barbaresco made from Nebbiolo, the region also produces vibrant Barbera, aromatic white wines such as Arneis and Moscato, alongside lighter reds including Dolcetto and Pelaverga.

Piemonte’s cooler continental climate, fog-covered vineyards and strong focus on indigenous grape varieties create wines with freshness, structure and a deep sense of place. The region’s varied soils and hillside vineyards contribute to wines that balance power with acidity and aromatic lift, particularly in Nebbiolo-based wines where tannin, perfume and ageing potential remain central.

Our Piemonte range focuses on growers producing expressive wines across both traditional and modern styles, from structured Nebbiolo and mineral whites to fresher low-intervention bottlings and approachable everyday drinking reds. Alongside classic Barolo and Barbaresco, the collection also highlights smaller appellations and lesser-known producers helping show the wider diversity of Piemonte beyond its most famous wines.

Expect bright acidity, savoury tannin, dark cherry, herbs, rose petal and earthy spice alongside wines built for food, ageing and balance rather than excessive oak or extraction. Many producers also work organically or biodynamically, with increasing emphasis on lower-intervention farming and transparent winemaking.

Whether you're looking for cellar-worthy Nebbiolo, fresh and juicy Barbera or more unusual indigenous varieties from smaller appellations, Piemonte remains one of the most rewarding and characterful regions in Italian wine.
