The wine region of Coste della Sesia
DOC of northeastern Piedmont (Alto Piemonte) along the Sesia river (Vercelli, Biella), glacial moraine soils, cooler alpine climate than the Langhe. Nebbiolo is the signature red king ('Spanna' locally): slender and airy with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, undergrowth, alpine herbs and a mineral touch, fine tannins and high acidity — accessible alternative to Lessona, Bramaterra and Boca. Spiced Vespolina, rounded Croatina and Uva Rara in blends. Lively Erbaluce as white.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Bitter
Normal for certain young red wines rich in tannin, bitterness is in other cases a defect due to a bacterial disease.
