Taste Of Piedmont 6 Bottle Case

Embark on a journey through a wine lover's paradise with our April case of the month "Taste Of Piedmont". Piedmont is renowned for its exceptional wine production, particularly famous for Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape. The region's diverse microclimates and varied soil types contribute to the complexity and richness of its wines.

The wines in this case come from DeMarie, and we love them because not only are their wines are lip-smackingly good, they are also a symbol of a land historically devoted to wine production, with particular attention to the protection of biodiversity. A bit like us, their story started with someone who believed in the potential of what their surrounds could conjure, and they took a leap of faith. Three generations of the Demarie family have been running their domain with expertise, hard work and a true passion for wine-growing.
