Nebbiolo and beyond at the Liberty Piemonte Tasting

6th September, 2012

The sheer diversity of the Piemonte region was demonstrated at Dartmouth House yesterday, as a stellar cast of winemakers from the region’s top estates came together to showcase their wines, including a preview of the much talked about 2008 vintage Barolos and Bruno Rocca‘s 2009 Barbaresco, to over 100 guests.

While Nebbiolo was the theme of the masterclass - hosted by Giuseppe Vajra, David Gleave, Franco Conterno and Franco Massolino, pictured left to right – the tasting took guests on a vinous journey through some of the region’s lesser known varietals, such as Deltetto’s Favorita, Vigne Marina Coppi’s Timorasso and GD Vajra’s Freisa.
