The world renouned region of Piemonte (foot of the mountain) is home to Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and Gavi di Gavi. The red Nebbiolo is king here, named after the morning fog or 'nebbia' that blankets the area. Rich, heady and complex are why these wines are so highly sought after. The Barbera grape offers soft and smooth red wines, while the white grape Cortese is used to make creamy elegant wines especially from the Comune of Gavi where it's known as Gavi di Gavi.
