Located at the foot of the mountains, Piedmont is characterized by fog (Italian: nebbia), which envelops the vineyards in autumn, creating perfect conditions for late-ripening varieties. International grapes are almost never used in the region, with preference given to authentic local varieties. The main prides of the region:
Powerful Nebbiolo beverages are simply created for rich gastronomy – they perfectly cut through meat fat, so they will pair beautifully with game, beef steaks, truffle-seasoned risotto, and aged cheeses. Fruity Barbera beverages are ideal with pizza and meat snacks.
What is the difference between Barolo and Barbaresco?
Both are made from Nebbiolo, but the Barolo soil is heavier, making the beverage more powerful, tannic, and requiring longer aging (at least 3 years). The Barbaresco zone soil is lighter, making the beverage more open, elegant in its youth, and requiring shorter aging (at least 2 years).
Are Piedmont wines suitable for aging and collecting?
Absolutely. Barolo and Barbaresco are among the most sought-after gifts and investments in the wine world. The best bottles can improve in a cellar for 20, 30, or even more years.
Is white wine produced in the region?
Yes, although Piedmont is a leader in red beverages, Cortese (in the Gavi zone) and Arneis varieties are grown here, from which excellent, mineral, and crisp whites are pressed.
