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

The result is a characterful rosé wine that pairs excellently with food and can also be enjoyed over three to five years.

Al Posto dei Fiori – 'In place of flowers' - That's what it's called, and its scent is enchanting. 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 impressive body and length for a rosé. A great wine!

Since 2021 in the screw cap.

The Pianelle

In Alto Piemonte, one can 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-renowned region for top wines, the cultural heritage was somewhat lost during industrialization.

Now, after Alto Piemonte has been considered a "hidden gem" in the USA for years, larger wineries have also started to plant wine in Alto Piemonte, relying on climate change, and not just in Barolo or Barbaresco.

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

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

While in Germany, probably only a fraction of wine drinkers knows what to make of Alto Piemonte...

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