Wines Piedmont Trediberri - Langhe - 2022

Viniou Reviews

Trediberri’s 2022 Cuvée Langhe is a delightful red from the prestigious Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, falling under the broad Piemonte DOC designation. While the precise blend isn’t specified, Langhe cuvées typically showcase a combination of indigenous grapes such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and sometimes Dolcetto. The result is often a vivacious, fruit-forward wine with balanced acidity and moderate tannins. The 2022 vintage benefitted from a warm growing season, bringing ripeness and approachability to the final wine. Produced by the boutique estate Trediberri, known for their respect of tradition and minimal intervention, this wine likely emphasises pure fruit expression and a sense of place.

Piedmont is celebrated for its rolling hills, diverse soils—ranging from calcareous clay to marl—and a temperate continental climate that supports slow, optimal ripening of grapes. Here, morning mists and significant day-night temperature variations help preserve aromatic complexity and freshness in the wines. The region boasts a rich viticultural history, being the birthplace of some of Italy’s greatest varietals and wine styles. The Piemonte DOC classification allows both tradition and creativity, resulting in approachable yet characterful wines meant to be enjoyed both young and, in some cases, with a little ageing.

Pairing this 2022 Trediberri Langhe Cuvée will be a pleasure with traditional Piedmontese cuisine such as tajarin pasta with ragù, agnolotti del plin, or a mushroom risotto bringing out the wine’s earthy and vibrant facets. It will also complement grilled poultry, roast pork, or hard cheeses like Castelmagno or aged Pecorino. For a more casual affair, try it with a charcuterie board featuring cured meats and olives.

Serve this wine at 16-18°C, slightly cool to highlight its fresh fruit and delicate floral notes. Decanting for about 30 minutes will help open up its bouquet, especially if consumed while still young. This bottle is best enjoyed over the next couple of years to appreciate its lively, primary character.
