Collection: Alto Piemonte

Alto Piemonte lies in the northern part of Piemonte in northern Italy and is among the more understated and lesser-known corners of the country's wine world. The climate here is cooler, and the style thrives on elegance and finesse rather than sheer power. That is precisely why the region is worth getting to know, if you want to discover a lighter and more mineral side of Piemonte.

At Copenhagen Wine, Alto Piemonte makes up a small but coherent selection, where provenance and origin carry real weight. The majority of the wines are built around Nebbiolo, the region's defining grape. Here it often takes on a more mineral and readily recognisable expression than further south in Piemonte, and that makes the wines a good starting point if you want to sense how differently the same grape can taste depending on where in Italy it grows.

Alongside Nebbiolo, local grapes play a part in the region's identity, and among them you will find Vespolina. That is part of the charm of Alto Piemonte: an area with its own voice, where the lesser-known grapes are allowed to complement the dominant Nebbiolo and give the selection breadth.

These are wines that invite calm at the table rather than grand gestures, and that suit a meal just as well as a quiet evening. We place emphasis on provenance and direct connections to the producers, and you will notice this in a selection chosen with care. If you want to see Alto Piemonte in a larger context, you can dive into our entire Italian selection, where the region features as one of the northern Italian gems. For the curious, Alto Piemonte is a fine entry point to understanding how many faces Italy and Nebbiolo can have.
