Wine Tasting at 34th Degree Wine Merchant

Style Exploration Tasting

Red & White Wines of Mendocino & Piedmont

This week's exploration includes classic wines from Italy's Piedmont region, tasted alongside wines from a boutique producer in Northern California that specializes in wines made from Piedmont-native grape varieties. This producer, Idlewild, approaches their wines as a journey to pursue Italy’s Piedmont in the elevated hills of Mendocino County. In their own words, they look to find the sides of these intriguing, delicious, and haunting varieties. Our Piedmont white wine featured is Gavi di Gavi, made from the Cortese grape. The producer we're featuring has one of the most elegant Gavi wines I've come across, with an endearing story from the three sisters who operate the winery. The Idlewild white is a blend of five Piedmont varieties, Cortese included, showcasing a unique approach with an exceptional result. Our Piedmont red wine featured is Dolcetto d'Alba, produced 100% from the Dolcetto grape. This wine has a freshness and friendly nature that is perfectly inviting. The Idlewild red is a blend of five Piedmont varieties, Dolcetto included, along with other favorites including Barbera and Nebbiolo.
