Piemonte, thanks to one grape in particular, has long been considered as one of the most premium, high quality wine regions in the old world. In the very north-west corner of Italy, at the foothills of the Alps, it enjoys a warm continental summer but a much colder winter with low rainfall. The mountains help create the famous fog which helps ripen the Nebbiolo of Barolo and Barbaresco. These two powerful, perfumed and tannic wines head up the reds in the region (which outnumber whites by 2:1) and are made for long aging. Whites, including the sweet sparkling Moscato d’Asti are floral, and aromatic. Prices can be astronomical and are framed by a vineyard classification system very similar to that of Burgundy.

A brand new project (est. 2021) from Andrea, Andrea and Maria who run an Italian import and national distribution company near Milan. With such an array of great winemakers at their fingertips and a desire to shake up the traditional format of single use glass bottles they set up UAIN, pouching wines from their fantastic winemakers into plastic pouches that last weeks. Each winemaker works organically (certified and practicing), with spontaneous fermentations only, minimal sulphur (c. 40mg/l) and no filtration. Last up to 30 days once opened.

Tasting note: Smooth summer berries. Fantastic acidity and fresh; clean tannins keep it going; finishing with savoury gamey notes and a lick of salinity.
Winemaking Detail: The ‘F’ is made by Vittorio and Andrea. They are located in the hills of Piemonte near the town of Canale. For them, wine is capturing their land in a sip. Produced from Barbera grapes grown on marly and sandy soils. The grapes are destemmed and pressed with 3 days skin contact. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in cement and the wine is aged in the same tank for another six months. Bottled unfiltered.
