"Piedmont" means 'at the foot of the mountains', and with its beautiful location at the foot of the Alps, it must be said to fit well. In addition to wine, the region is also known for its truffles and nuts. The capital is Turin.
Piedmont is Italy's seventh largest region for wine production (surprisingly ????), but what the region lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality.
The two most well-known grapes in the area are Barbera and Nebbiolo. The Barbera grape is primarily used to produce Barbera d'Alba and Barbera d'Asti. The Nebbiolo grape is used for the two great wines Barbaresco and Barolo, but also for a younger sibling, Nebbiolo d'Alba.
