Piedmont At a Glance
Region NamePiedmont
Piemonte is considered by many the top wine region of Italy, being the land of Barolo and Barbaresco, even though these mega-popular wines only account for 3% of the region’s wine production.
Score: 93Vintage 2019Wine EnthusiastA lifted and vibrant profile that immediately captivates the senses with aromas of fresh violets, lavender and rose petals, complemented by notes of ripe red cherries, juicy strawberries and a hint of red currant. Well rounded and harmonious on the palate, with a structure that supports the vibrant fruit and floral flavors. The acidity provides a refreshing lift, while the fine-grained, well-integrated tannins offer a taut framework that will allow the wine to age. Drink Now–2035Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2017Wine SpectatorThough intense and concentrated, this red is also vibrant and delineated by bright acidity. Boasts black cherry, blackberry, violet and tamarind sauce flavors, which ride the structure to a long conclusion. Drink now through 2027. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 400 cases made, 50 cases imported.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2017Wine AdvocateSome of the complexity and depth that is missing from the 2018 Nizza seems to have been forwarded to the Garesio 2017 Nizza Riserva. The fruit is very ripe, even a bit baked, with sweet cherry confit and blackberry preserves. But the wine builds nicely in volume and intensity to the palate and with the right food pairing, say a breaded veal steak, balances out the extra sweetness.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2016James SucklingAromas of ripe red berries, spices and hints of walnuts and cedar, with subtle leathery undertones. On the palate it's medium- to full-bodied, structured and compact, with firm tannins and bright acidity. Tense and focused. Drink now or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2016Wine SpectatorThis red has developed nicely, its blackberry and black currant flavors softening and melding into the vibrant structure. Everything is in harmony here, ending with a cascade of fresh fruit, mineral and spice notes. Drink now. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2016Wine EnthusiastAromas of toasted oak, charred underbrush and dark-skinned fruit form the nose. The ripe palate offers blackberry jam, vanilla and mocha alongside rounded tannins. Enjoy through 2024Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2015Wine SpectatorA delicious example of Barbera, sumptuous and infused with plum, black cherry, iron, leather and spice flavors. Powerful, with a sense of grace and a terrific aftertaste. Could benefit from some bottle aging. Drink now through 2025. 3,000 cases made, 50 cases imported. –BSShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2015Wine AdvocateThe Garesio 2015 Nizza Riserva doles out extra richness and concentration. The wine pours to an inky dark appearance with ripe aromas of plummy fruit, dried cherry and blackberry preserves. Those dark fruit tones are backed by oak spice, tar and tobacco. Those spicy notes play a big role in the wine's DNA, although they remain carefully balanced and folded into this Riserva's rich texture. This is a great choice for barbecued spare ribs with spicy sauce.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
