Cantina del Glicine

Piemonte Nebbiolo and Dolcetto from northern Italy's classical heartland.

Cantina del Glicine operates in Piemonte, Italy's northeastern region renowned for structured, elegant red wines built on indigenous varieties. The winery focuses on Nebbiolo and Dolcetto, grapes that define the area's character. Its Vignesparse Barbaresco, a Nebbiolo-based wine, represents the winery's work with the region's most prestigious designation. Barbaresco itself demands extended aging and reveals the grape's signature architecture: tannin, acidity, and floral complexity. The winery also produces Olmiolo Dolcetto d'Alba, a lighter expression of Dolcetto, the softer counterpoint to Nebbiolo in Piemonte's portfolio. Both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have assessed the winery's output, anchoring its work within critical discourse. Cantina del Glicine's range spans the classical Piemontese spectrum—from the structured and long-lived to the approachable and fruit-forward.
