Nebbiolo grapes are the basis of the great red Piedmont wines, Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, and Bramaterra. In 2010, 'Le Pianelle' started with a modern interpretation of this grape variety, a Rosato made of over 90% Nebbiolo and nearly 10% Vespolina and Croatina. The grapes are hand-harvested in selected vineyard parcels, destemmed, and 90% fermented in steel tanks at low temperatures. 10% of the grapes ferment in Stockinger oak barrels.

The result is a characterful Rosé wine, which is excellent as a food companion and enjoyable to drink over three to five years.

Al Posto dei Fiori – 'Instead of Flowers' - That's its name, and its scent is captivating. Excellent both in summer and winter, with a mineral taste and distinct aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries. Additionally, it has light plum and spicy notes with, for a Rosé, impressive body and length. A great wine!

In screw cap since 2021.

Le Pianelle

In Alto Piemonte, you will find this, unfortunately, still only a hidden gem in Germany.

The winery, founded by Dr. Dieter Heuskel, focuses in Brusnengo on reviving the DOC Bramaterra. Once a world-famous growing area for top wines, the cultural heritage was somewhat lost during industrialization.

Now, after Alto Piemonte has already been considered a "hidden gem" in the USA for years, larger wineries have also started, firmly relying on climate change, to grow wine in Alto Piemonte and no longer only in Barolo or Barbaresco.

From the USA, the current 2023 vintage of Al Posto dei Fioris was rated with a proud 93 points by the second largest wine publication based there.

There, the hard work of the highly knowledgeable team assembled and staying together since the beginning at the winery - mainly consisting of Cristiano Garella, Andrea Zanetta, and Fabio Zambolin - has been appreciated with good ratings for years.

While in Germany probably a fraction of a percent of wine drinkers know what to make of Alto Piemonte...

Definitely try it sometime. The 2016 vintage of the top red wine Bramaterra is already sold out. (Except in a vertical box exclusively here at Piemont Express)
