piedmont

Piedmont sits high in the constellation of wine-stars: it's the area that produces the finest Italian red wines, wines like Barbaresco and Barolo as well as many of second rank. As a result the whites of Piedmont have been relegated almost into oblivion. Apart from Asti Spumante and the Moscato - neither of which are much respected by Piedmontese gourmets, there really is only one grape that can claim any renown at all and that's the Cortese.
