If you follow the rivers west from Torino, you come eventually to the town of Pinerolo, where the Chisone river cuts a path out of the Alps and traces a well worn road that eventually leads to France’s Savoie. Vineyards pepper the foothills on either side of the river, where rare vines imported long ago from France grow side by side with nearly all of Piedmont’s varied menu, and wines from this region have been noted since the 13th century. While blends are common here, this varietal Barbera beautifully captures the alpine character of the Pinerolese hills. The nose offers surreptitious complexity with all the clarity of a bell’s first peal of the morning, offering aromas of fresh red rose, cherry fruit leather, Turkish delight, cola and watermelon. On the palate, red fruits like raspberry and Rainier cherry ring out, the texture a give and take between lush, elegant, velvety tannins and precocious acidity. Back bench notes of bitter dark chocolate and lime zest come late on the finish in this gorgeous wine. The Raviolo family - Valerio, Luigina, Daniele and Simone - named their winery Le Marie for the passion and joy they take in making wine in their corner of Piedmont. We’re confident you’ll find the same when you take a sip over here.
