Piedmont

Introduction to Piedmont

The Italian word "Piedmont" means at the foot of the mountains, and indeed the whole region is dominated by the Alps to the north and the west. Piedmont is home to the largest area of vines which produce DOC and DOCG wines, and the region boasts over 40 denominations. The most well known wines from Piedmont include Barolo and Barbaresco, made from the Nebbiolo grape, and Asti Spumante, made from the Moscato grape. Nebbiolo is the king of the grape varieties in Piedmont, but others also produce lovely reds, such as Barbera and Dolcetto. We are honoured to represent two maestros of Piedmont - Angelo Gaja and Bruno Giacosa.
