Discover why Nebbiolo may be king, but Arneis, Barbera, and Dolcetto are far from supporting players in this celebrated northern Italian region.
Explore the major wine denominations of Northern Italy's Piemonte, known in English as Piedmont. You will delve into the famous appellations of Asti, Gavi, Barolo, Barbaresco, and much more, learning where these wines are produced, which grape varieties go into them, and what distinguishes their styles. The course also introduces the foods and culture of the region, providing essential context for understanding why these wines taste the way they do. A portion of the class is devoted to reviewing the southern Italian regions covered in prior sessions.
