8-27-12 Word On Wine Review Piemonte Red Sampler!
This week Mary and I review three reds from Piemonte all of which are iconic!
1)2009 Dante Rivetti Barbera D’alba. $21. “I like Barbera”, says Mary…I replied, “It likes you too!”. Indeed this is a great light red with some decent punch. Great with dinner, great on its own.
2)2007 Chionetti Dolcetto. $23. What is Dolcetto? Is it a light sipper is it a wild and crazy Italian wine?…this one had both things going for it!
3)2009 Cascina Chico Langhe Nebbiolo. $25. It’s hard to find a good Nebbiolo at this price and this was a good one. It’s not Barbaresco or Barolo but it’s a good example of this noble grape you can drink now. Enjoy with Beef. Click below and check out our review.
