Piemonte Exploration
Piemonte is regarded by collectors and connoisseurs as the most important wine region in Italy today (though they might rank Toscana a very close second). There are two very good reasons: history and diversity.

Domenico Clerico Dolcetto Visadi 2007

This version of Piemonte's "little sweet one" isn't so little—but it's not just another lush, deep-purple quaffer. While flaunting its dimensions in a profusely berried nose, the palate is not quite so forward, exercising restraint in a surprising display of tannic vigor. This statement is issued against a background of spicy, plummy fruit that carries an intriguing herbal note. Unlike most others in the varietal category, this Dolcetto sees a brief period in new barrique, a practice that enhances the wine's demonstrative character.

HK$208.00

Domenico Clerico Barbera Trevigne 2006

Highly concentrated, while carrying the signature dried cherry and raspberry fruits of the grape, underlined by an earthy spice dimension. These aspects emerge more fully with time in the glass, revealing an unexpected depth and concentration.

La Spinetta Barbaresco Gallina 2005

The highly structured 2005 provides a body built for slow sipping and long, lingering inhalation; it’s a wine that favors its flavors of super-ripe red cherry, plum, roses, and truffle. Drinking now through 2020, only 950 cases the '05 Gallina are available.

HK$880.00

Massolino Barolo 2003

Reveals notable depth in its core of vibrant black cherries with lovely purity and well-integrated tannins.

HK$360.00

Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2004

HK$1,618.00

The Best of Piemonte Sampler

There are a wide range of grapes that grow well in Piemonte. There's the famed Nebbiolo, the grape of Barolo and Barbaresco, as well as Barbera (the region's most-planted grape) and Dolcetto, the source of some charming reds. We're offering a six-bottle Taste of Piemonte featuring these three top reds.
