We discover the art and gourmet treasures of Piedmont, the taste of which remains with us as we reach the financial heart of the country, Milan.

The Salone del Gusto in Torino seems to have given us the perfect opportunity for visiting Piedmont and the Langhe, not nearly as well-known to most wine lovers as some of the specific wines made there. This region within a region covers a fairly large and roughly triangular swath of rolling vineyard country around the town of Alba and its leading wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, have earned a place in just about any wine enthusiast’s hall of fame. Dolcetto and Barbera are close behind as other familiar wines of the region, native black grape varieties of Northern Italy once grown almost exclusively in the provinces of Cuneo and Alessandria for the production of easy and inexpensive table wines and now planted in many world’s vinyeards.
