About Piedmont
Piedmont sits in Italy's northwestern corner, producing some of the country's most prestigious and long-lived wines. Nebbiolo is the noble grape here, reaching its apex in Barolo ("the king of wines") and the more elegant Barbaresco. The region also excels with Barbera, Dolcetto, and the aromatic Moscato. The hilly Langhe district, with its autumn fogs and truffle-rich forests, is one of Italy's most captivating wine destinations.
