In 2015, top Piedmontese winery Gaja purchased 30ha at 650m in Trezzo Tinella, planting vines and building a new 250,000-bottle winery principally to vinify white grape varieties grown in the new vineyards. While the new facility is only a 15-minute drive from Gaja’s 19th-century winery in the village of Barbaresco, the vineyards here can be as much as 4°C cooler.

I am delighted to start work this week for Nebbia e Luce, a Nebbiolo-focused company headed by Simon Farr and Chiara Ovaleo Pandolo. The company’s name means ‘Fog and Light’, encapsulating its Piemontese roots. It has been buying and storing Nebbiolo wines from various parts of Piemonte. It will then release the wines when they are fully mature and ready to drink. Very few collectors or restaurants have the space, cashflow or patience to cellar wines today.

I was hugely honoured to present ‘Piedmont: off the beaten track’ at Texsom in a tasting/seminar in Dallas. If you had told me even a few years ago that I would present Piemonte in Texas, I would not have believed you. My session was on the Monday of the two-day event and was followed by a ‘meet the author’ session mainly for the Académie du Vin Library authors. Texsom is an annual conference, perhaps the most important wine event in the southeast of the US.

It is a year since I wrote to you about the publication of The Wines of Piemonte. It has been a full and exciting year. Here are the highlights in a review of the year: The Classic Wine Library which published my book has a new home. The Académie du Vin Library bought the company, founded by the esteemed Stephen Spurrier. The big deal for us writers is that AVL has a much bigger staff including a marketing department.
