Piedmont is one of Italy’s most characterful wine regions, tucked in the north-west between the Alps and the rolling hills that shape the country’s grape growing traditions. Known for its range of styles, Piedmont is a brilliant place to explore if you enjoy wines with depth, tradition and a sense of place.

At the heart of the region you’ll find both red and white classics. Nebbiolo, often described as bold and age-worthy, is the star grape behind renowned labels such as Barolo and Barbaresco, where aromas can lean towards ripe cherry, dried rose and earthy spice. Prefer something lighter? Dolcetto brings a more relaxed, fruit-forward approach, while Barbera is valued for its freshness and juicy character.

For whites, look out for Gavi (Cortese) and aromatic, hillside-grown bottles that feel crisp and inviting, with flavours that can range from green apple to citrus zest. The best way to enjoy Piedmont is to taste across styles, as many producers work with careful vineyard selection and traditional winemaking alongside modern refinements.

Whether you’re pairing with hearty Italian cooking or simply curious about what makes this region so revered, Piedmont offers plenty to discover and enjoy.
