Piedmont Beyond Barolo and Barbaresco

By Antonio Galloni

As great as the best Barolos and Barbarescos are, Piedmont also offers a huge range of more affordable everyday wines that capture all of the virtues of one of the world’s indisputably great wine producing regions.

With its numerous, small, family-run estates, Piedmont is Italy’s answer to Burgundy. Although Barolo and Barbaresco get most of the attention, Piedmont’s everyday wines are every bit as compelling. Readers will find a wide range of fabulous Arneis, Dolcettos, Barberas, Nebbiolos and Moscatos in this article, many of which sell for well under $25.00 a bottle. For a quick primer, readers might also enjoy this short video.
