edit Tasting
Wine lovers know the region as the home of the great red Nebbiolo wines Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition to these, the more common Barbera is getting better and better.
The white wines of Piedmont include Arneis and sweet Moscato wines.
Barolo is a big red wine that is traditionally made in a very tannic style.
Barbaresco is similar to Barolo, being made with the same Nebbiolo grape. The difference is commonly that Barolo is more powerful and Barbaresco more aromatic.
Barbera is easier to grow than Nebbiolo, and it produces a simpler, fruity red wine with good acidity.
Dolcetto is a simple red wine.
Brachetto is used to make a sweet, sparkling red wine.
