Piedmont
Langhe, Monferrato, and Alto Piemonte: Nebbiolo in All Its Forms
The wine region of Piedmont revolves around Nebbiolo, the star of Barolo and Barbaresco in the Langhe, but the region is much broader: Monferrato with Barbera and Moscato, Alto Piemonte with its elegant high-altitude reds, the Novara Hills, and the Royal Wine Route of Turin at the gates of the city. Rolling hills, castles, and Alba's white truffle accompany the winery experience, often among small historical producers. An excellent pairing with braised meats, aged cheeses, and the famous tajarin. Book your wine tasting in Piedmont online, at the same price as the winery and with free cancellation.
