Piedmont, located in north-eastern Italy, is known for its high quality, delicious wine. Its myriad distinguished vineyards, which sit in the shadow of the Alps, produce some of the best Italian wines. Wine connoisseurs worldwide admire Piedmont for its diverse range of varieties, each with a unique taste profile that sets it apart.
One of the treasures Piedmont boasts is its Nebbiolo grape, used in the production of the renowned Barolo and Barbaresco wines. These deeply aromatic, full-bodied reds are known for their multilayered complexity and demanding ageing potential, with fragrant hints of truffles, red cherries, tobacco and violets combining in a delightful quintessential Italian experience.
The region also produces excellent wines from Dolcetto and Barbera grapes. Often underrated, these varieties offer a balance of soft fruitiness and vibrant acidity. Dolcetto, with its light body and distinctively dry finish, is enjoyed as an everyday wine in its local environs. Barbera, in contrast, is noted for its high acidity with a wonderfully refreshing yet rich palate.
Not to forgotten is the Moscato d'Asti, a delightful sweet white wine produced from the Moscato grape. It is fizzy, low in alcohol, and is blessed with a bouquet of exotic fruits, which makes it an excellent dessert wine or a refreshing afternoon tipple.
Piedmont's vineyards are also some of Italy’s most picturesque - perched atop rolling hills, they offer a captivating sight, especially during evenings when the sun paints the sky in hues of stunning gold and pink. The rural quiet is interspersed with period villas and grand castles, harking back to an old-world charm that compliments the region's traditional winemaking ethos.
From indulgent reds to sprightly whites, Piedmont wine becomes a conversation beyond just its taste. It speaks volumes about Italy's rich cultural heritage, the expertise of countless winemakers and the exquisite Piedmontese landscapes that nurture each bottle to perfection.
