Piedmont is considered a giant of Italian wine. Barolo and
Barbaresco are admired as cult wines, and at one time, thought too
elaborate for modern palates. But the combination of favorable
vintages & perfection of techniques is changing that image. They
have retained their ample dimensions while be-coming better balanced
and more approachable than before. The Alba area is know for it’s
smooth supple Dolce o and most recently the ubiquitous Barbera.
Piedmont is also the leading producer of sparkling wines, foremost
among them is Asti, the world’s most popular sweet bubbly wine. Gavi,
a still white shows a crisp, yet elegant style, and is thought best
