The Grape is used to make wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, Ghemme and Nebbiolo. These lightly coloured red wines can be massively tannic in youth with intriguing scents of tar and roses. As they age, the wines take on a characteristic brick-orange hue at the rim of the glass and mature to reveal complex aromas and Flavours (violets, tar, wild herbs, cherries, raspberries, truffles, tobacco, prunes). These wines often take years to become approachable as they require ageing to tame the tannins from the grapes. As part of a global trend begun in the 1990s, younger producers have sought to make their wines more approachable in their youth.
With limited production, the wines of Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, Ghemme and Nebbiolo can often fetch large sums of money. Barolo is the most important and appreciated of Piedmont red wines.
