Piedmont wines have won recognition all over the world. Piedmont is also a fantastically beautiful wine region. We stay in Alba, a small town of just the right size to enjoy in the evenings, after intense days among the vines.
Nebbiolo is the great grape in Piedmont, responsible for, among others, Barolo and Barbaresco – today some of the world’s most acclaimed wines – but there is more to discover, not least the barbera grape, formerly a grape “for the people” but now as noble as Nebbiolo. And freisa, cortese, arneis, dolcetto, grigolino…
We visit large, impressive wine cellars, small producers who tell their fascinating stories, we meet newcomers and those who have grown wine here for many generations.
October is truffle season in Piedmont and we taste the fantastic white truffle at our closing lunch, after a visit to the famous truffle market in Alba.
