Piedmontese Wines: Embodying the Authentic Italian Experience

Moving to northern Italy, Piedmont produces Barolo, known as the "King of Wines," for its bold tannins and complex floral aromas.

If you're looking for something lighter, Barbera d’Asti offers bright fruit flavors and juicy acidity—a great pairing for everyday Italian cuisine.
