I decided to start this discussion to let you know better the fantastic world of piedmontese wines. Italian winemaking companies is very different from the one of USA and of other countries all over the world. In Piedmont we have the first wine area (Langhe, Roero, Monferrato, Asti, Acqui Terme) to be declared world heritage by UNESCO for its foods and wines. The winemaking designed the landscape of the hills of this area famous throughout the world for their famous vineyards. It is in these vineyards that the Barolo is born, the wine of the Kings of Italy, the no less valuable Barbaresco, the many variations of nebbiolo and barbera, the most recent but no less valid Ruchè produced only in five countries, the "Gamba di Pernice "niche wine that has saved a grape cultivar once used to be dried and consumed at Christmas holidays and which today is produced only in Calosso (AT), Costigliole (AT) and Castagnole Lanze (AT). Not to mention whites like Arneis, cortese, Moscato d'Asti and spumanti, Asti docg and "Alta Langa", a classic method that derives from them. And how to forget about the grignolino, a peasant wine once appreciated today as a table wine, and of the numerous rosè.
