Piedmont

Piedmont, or Piemonte, is one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions, located in the north-west of the country beneath the Alps. Its rolling hills, continental climate, autumnal mists and diverse soils provide ideal conditions for producing elegant, complex and highly age-worthy wines.

The region is best known for Nebbiolo, the grape behind the celebrated wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, while Barbera and Dolcetto are also important. Piedmont is also renowned for Moscato d’Asti and Asti sparkling wines. Strongly rooted in tradition and the concept of terroir, the region’s producers increasingly combine meticulous vineyard management with sustainable and organic practices, ensuring Piedmont’s continued reputation for some of Italy’s finest and most distinctive wines.
