Wines from Piedmont
It's not a big thing to claim that Piedmont is the most exciting wine region in northern Italy. This is certainly also due to the great wines from Barolo, but not just. It is precisely because of the rediscovery of the viticultural periphery that Piedmont has not only gained in diversity in recent years, but also in quality - this is particularly evident in regions such as Bramaterra, Ovada, Monferrato and the Colli Tortonesi, where the white grape variety Timorasso is celebrating its well-deserved renaissance and offers a fantastic alternative to the great red wines of the region.
Rocco di Carpeneto: Steira 2018
Wein
- €19,90
Even though all wines at Rocco di Carpeneto receive similar attention, the STEIRA, Piedmontese for star, shines brightest in the young winery's Dolcetto sky. The grapes for this come from the Vigneto Rocco, planted in 1970; the yields are low, but the quality is all the higher. The early-ripening...
Daniele Ricci: San Leto Blu 2019
Wein
- €26,90
Daniele Ricci once said that it is better to cultivate Timorasso vineyards alone if possible. The variety is so complicated to cultivate that experience and knowledge of the individual characteristics of the vines are beneficial. Today, his son Mattia, who is well trained in this area, usually he...
Colombera & Garella: Melascone 2021
Wein
- €15,90
A few decades ago, Coste della Sesia still had a few hundred hectares of vines, but today there are a whole thirty. The reason for this was not the quality of the wines, which have been repeatedly praised in the annals of local viticulture since the 14th century, but the general rural exodus that...

Daniele Ricci: C.C.C. 2011
Wein
- €36,90
The C.C.C. is the most daring of Daniele Ricci's many Timorasso variants. The name itself bears witness to this: the C.C.C. stands for "come un cane in chiesa", "like a dog in church", and thus subtly indicates that we are dealing with a wine that has been vinified beyond classic conventions. I...
Rocco di Carpeneto: Admura 2016
Wein
- €19,90
The idea was as well-intentioned as it was obvious. When Giovanni Dalmasso crossed Nebbiolo and Barbera in his laboratory in 1938, he wanted to combine the best attributes of the two dominant Piedmontese grape varieties: the fragrance and intensity of Nebbiolo with the vibrancy and freshness of B...

Daniele Ricci: Elso 2015

Elso is a wine close to Daniele Ricci's heart. It is dedicated to Ulisse, his maternal grandfather.

With the Giallo di Costa, Daniele Ricci explores what is possible with Timorasso.
