About Piedmont
Piedmont, or Piemonte in Italian, remains one of Italy’s most treasured hidden gems, increasingly recognized for its world-renowned Barolo wines, crafted from the noble Nebbiolo grape. Set in northwest Italy, Piedmont shares its borders with France and Switzerland, framed dramatically on three sides by the Alps and Apennines. French influence is deeply rooted here, stemming not just from proximity but from centuries under the rule of the House of Savoy.
Today, Piedmont boasts five UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is the birthplace of both the Slow Food® movement and the globally celebrated Eataly, founded in the town of Bra.
This region is a true paradise for lovers of wine and gastronomy. Piedmont exemplifies the perfect harmony between food and wine, revered by gourmands around the world. Its wines are strictly regulated under DOCG and DOC standards, resulting in some of Italy’s finest vintages. Barolo, known as the "King of Wines", is the region’s crown jewel, while Barbera, Piedmont’s most widely planted grape, continues to rise in global prominence. As part of your Exquisitalia journey, you’ll also discover an extraordinary array of indigenous and international red and white varietals that few travelers ever experience.
Beyond wine, Piedmont is famed for its culinary artistry. The countryside around Alba produces the prized white truffle, a rare delicacy traditionally shaved over handmade pastas, creamy cheese fondues, and egg dishes. Exceptional meats, particularly Fassona beef, feature prominently, alongside regional specialties such as vitello tonnato (thinly sliced veal topped with a creamy tuna sauce) and roasted onions stuffed with sausage and cheese. For those with a sweet tooth, local hazelnuts form the base of many beloved desserts.
Autumn brings additional enchantment, with the celebrated Cheese Festival in Bra and Alba’s internationally famous Truffle Fair, where the intoxicating aroma of white truffles fills the crisp air.
