Piedmont wines lead through northwestern Italy’s hills, with Nebbiolo giving Barolo and Barbaresco their distinctive red-wine identities. Barbera and Dolcetto offer other red discoveries, while Arneis and Cortese introduce the whites. Moscato adds a fragrant, often sweet and sparkling contrast. The region extends beyond its most famous villages, so exploring the complete appellation opens a wider world of local grapes, vineyard settings and styles.
