Collection: Wines of Piemonte

Some of Italy's most sought-after wines come from Piemonte, but the region has never relied on a single grape. Nebbiolo may steal the headlines, yet Barbera, Dolcetto, Arneis and many other native varieties all help tell the story.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What wines is Piemonte best known for?

Piemonte is best known for Barolo and Barbaresco, two of Italy’s most famous red wines made from Nebbiolo. The region also produces Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato d’Asti, Arneis and a wide range of traditional northern Italian wine styles.

What does Nebbiolo taste like?

Nebbiolo is known for high acidity, firm tannin and complex aromas of cherry, rose, tar, herbs and spice. Despite its pale colour, it can produce some of Italy’s most structured and long-lived wines, particularly in Barolo and Barbaresco.

What’s the difference between Barolo and Barbaresco?

Both wines are made from Nebbiolo, but Barbaresco is often slightly lighter, softer and more approachable at a younger age, while Barolo is typically more powerful and structured. Differences in vineyard location, climate and ageing rules also shape the styles.

Is Piemonte only known for expensive wine?

Nope. while Piemonte is famous for collectible wines like Barolo, the region also produces excellent value wines from grapes like Barbera and Dolcetto, alongside lesser-known appellations offering freshness and character at more accessible prices.

What food pairs well with Piemonte wine?

Piemonte wines are famously food-friendly. Nebbiolo works beautifully with rich meat dishes, mushrooms and aged cheese, while Barbera pairs well with tomato-based dishes, charcuterie and pasta. White wines from the region also work particularly well with seafood and lighter northern Italian cooking.
