Nestled at the foot of the serrated Alps and bordered by France and Switzerland Piedmont is Italy’s foremost producer of classic wines, grown on vines native to the Old Country. The most popular reds, Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara and Ghemme, are all pressed from the Nebbiolo grape, grown on the rolling Piedmontese hills.

White wines constitute approximately one third of the volume produced annually. Asti is the most prolific appellation. Gavi, made from Cortese grapes, is very much admired. Piedmont also produces a large volume of spirits, such as Grappa and Vermouth.
