With more than forty different grape varieties grown in the region, Piedmont has much to offer in every category from reds, and whites wines to even sparkling and dessert wines! Piedmont is divided into several sub-regions, each of which has its own unique wine traditions and specialties. Piedmont is also home to the most DOCG zones in Italy and is renowned for its diversity, quality, and long history of winemaking.
Some of the famous sub-regions include:
Barolo - The Barolo sub-region is located in the heart of Piedmont, and it is known for producing some of the world's most prestigious wines. Barolo is a well-structured red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape, and it is characterized by its high tannins and acidity, as well as its complex aromas of tar, roses, and red fruit.
Barbaresco - The Barbaresco sub-region is located to the east of Barolo, and it is also known for producing high-quality Nebbiolo wines. Barbaresco is similar to Barolo in terms of its grape variety and winemaking techniques, but it tends to be a bit more approachable.
Asti - The Asti sub-region is located to the southeast of Barolo and Barbaresco, and it is known for producing sparkling wines made from the Moscato grape. Moscato d'Asti is a sweet, light-bodied wine that is often served as a dessert wine or paired with fruit-based desserts.
Alba - The Alba sub-region is located to the south of Barolo and Barbaresco, and it is known for producing a wide range of wines, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. Alba is also famous for its white truffles, which are often paired with local wines.
Gavi - The Gavi sub-region is located in the southeastern part of Piedmont, near the border with Liguria. It is known for producing crisp, dry white wines made from the Cortese grape. Gavi is often paired with seafood and other light, delicate dishes.
Wines produced in Piedmont are made for both casual wine drinkers and serious connoisseurs!
