Descrizione

The Merlot of Terabianca, produced in the heart of Piedmont, best expresses the potential of this international grape variety in the context of a rich and complex terroir. The carefully selected grapes find an ideal ground among morainic hills, which give the wine a balanced structure and an intense aromatic profile. The aging, generally in oak barriques, enriches the glass with notes of vanilla, sweet spices, and a delicate toasty scent, making the sip smooth and enveloping.

On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries, and plums are recognized, accompanied by light herbal notes that testify to the freshness of the wine. On the palate, it shows body, with velvety tannins and a persistent finish that invites a second tasting. Perfect pairing with grilled red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, enhancing every dish with its elegance. A Piedmontese Merlot that speaks of tradition and wine-making care.

Winery history

The Piazzo family began their activity in the hills of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio in the 1960s: the couple Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia invested in Nebbiolo vineyards and, beginning with the harvest that produced their first wine in 1979, the estate progressively expanded its range to become a leading name in the Langhe. Management later passed to the next generations, who have preserved the family character while introducing innovative practices in the vineyard and cellar.

Production philosophy

The winery combines an artisanal, family-run approach with respect for the land: vineyard care, attention to the Nebbiolo tradition, and the use of modern techniques to enhance the terroir expression of each cru.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the Langhe and Roero, with plots around Alba and in towns such as Mango, Neviglie, Guarene and Novello. The headquarters are located in the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, in the municipality of Alba.
