Winemaker Notes

The cru of San Martino enjoys southeast facing exposure and tops out at over 500 meters above sea level. The grapes get a majority of their sun in the morning and are shaded from the heat of the day in the afternoon. This, coupled with the fact that the soils here are dominated by limestone, not clay, causes San Martino to produce an incredibly elegant Dolcetto.

Professional Ratings

    Dark and a touch brooding, with concentrated black cherry, black currant and blueberry fruit wrapped in a cloak of chalky tannins. Dense and lively, with a hint of earth and black pepper. Drink now.

In the little-visited township of Dogliani (located a few kilometers south of Barolo), Dolcetto is king. Nebbiolo is not suited to the terrain, and few choose the challenge of making a living from Dolcetto and Barbera alone.

The Boschis family has been producing wine on their family property since 1919, but only began bottling their own juice in 1968. Plantings are at 1800 feet high, about 650-1000 feet higher than those in Barolo and Barbaresco, resulting in a powerfully enhanced bouquet; old vines (40-60 years) result in richly complex and ageworthy wines.

Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.

But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.

Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
