Piedmont, framed by the Alps in northwestern Italy, is a land of rolling hills and carefully cultivated vineyards. The continental climate, with its cold winters and warm summers, creates prime conditions for the Nebbiolo grape, which dominates much of the region's red wine production. The Langhe area is home to Barolo and Barbaresco, structured red wines known for their complex aromas, firm tannins, and aging potential. While Nebbiolo is the dominant grape of Piedmont, the region also makes interesting white wines like those from Arneis and Timorasso. Alto Piemonte is a separate region in the north with its own distinctive expressions of Nebbiolo, alongside other red grape varietals.
Italy - Piedmont
Erbaluce is a white grape from northern Piedmont, centered on the village of Caluso in the Canavese hills north of Turin. Its name nods to the golden-pink tint the bunches take on in autumn sun. Erbaluce di Caluso is a rare Piedmontese white with real acidity: dry versions are taut and mineral, with citrus, green apple and herbs; it also makes traditional-method sparkling wine and Caluso Passito, a long-lived sweet wine from grapes dried through the winter. Production is small and largely in the hands of family growers, which makes good bottles a find.
