Red wine from Piedmont (Piemonte) Italy
We believe that the red wines of Piedmont offer some of the best wines in the world, famous for many years for the rich and powerful Barolo and Barberesco wines made from the Nebbiolo grape, more and more people are discovering that the much wider planted Barbera grape is capable of producing outstanding wine. Here we offer you a selection of Piedmont reds from the easy drinking everyday to the "wow" special occasion.

“Piano Piano” PREMIUM RESERVE – Barbera d’Asti DOC 2005 , At long last the first "premium" wine from the Blades' estate has arrived in the UK. This is a strictly limited edition as only 500 bottles were made (and only 300 are available!) 500 litres of the best wine from the great 2005 vintage have been gently maturing for an extra 15 months in French Allier oak barrels.. The distinctive Barbera d'Asti tastes are all there but much smoother with great balance and a longer aftertaste, this is a wine to savour!
This wine is drinking very well now, but if you have the patience will improve immeasurably over the next 5-8 years.
Released January 2008.

Monferrato Rosso DOC 2005, Castelnuovo Belbo (Nebbiolo), This is a great wine heavily disguised by its modest title (Monferrato Rosso) as it is grown on the hill above our own vineyards in Castelnuovo Belbo - not a zone recognised as Nebbiolo terroir, but it is nonetheless Nebbiolo and excellent - try it and you will not be disappointed (very affordable compared to the usual Nebbiolo offerings of Barberesco and Barolo). Opening up nicely for drinking in 2008.
