Wine makers in Piedmont play a key role in developing modern Italian oenology.

Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, are the names of wines and vines that excite any connoisseur with suggestions of quality and excellence; more, what could we say about “white Muscatel”, employed in the production of the worldwide known “Asti”, a wine exported and appreciated everywhere?

Piedmont is different from any other Italian region for the reason why local wines are produced only from grapes of one type of vine. Normally, a certain wine is produced exclusively from grapes coming strictly from vineyards of same vines. The name of the vine, in general, is also employed for naming the wine itself.

Wine makers of Piedmont offer wines among the most representatives for quality in Italy. In fact, Piedmont may number, among its wines, a dozen DOCG’s and about fifty DOC’s.
