Today I want to share an excellent article I had the opportunity to read, about the best 101 wines of Italy.
This article inspired me .....
Let's try to go into the huge diversities offered from the different regions of this beautiful country!
PIEMONTE: Literally, it means 'at the foot of the mountains'. A territory surrounded by hills and valleys, rivers and lakes, mixing up large grapes extensions, hazelnut trees,truffles and rice.
Its wines are austere and well known all over the globe.
The region is plenty of family owned and managed wineries, having small scale production with a great quality.
The grapes as Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato are part of the variety of Piemonte.
Let's check out some of them:
The Massolino family runs their business from 1896 in Serralunga D'Alba. Their elected wine is the Barolo - Vigna Rionda Reserve 2005. The domain is as beautiful as the region, worth a visit. www.massolino.it
Further, the Azienda Agricola Elvio Cogno situated in Novello is listed with the Barolo Ravera 2006. The 'azieda' is known by the range and high quality of Barolo. Beautiful place, I suggest you to book a visit and a wine tasting section.www.elviogogno.it
On more selected winery, also located in Novello, is listed with the wine Vietti Barolo Ravera 2011.
Once again a family tradition that can delight you.

In the famous region of La Morra, surrounded from huge hazelnut extensions, Renato Ratti's domain represents a pearl with the Abbey of Annunziata and a museum of wines. The wine chosen to figure on this select list is Barolo Roche 2004.www.renatoratti.com
Facing Alba, worldwide known truffles capital, Bruno Giocosa's Winery lies on Borgonovo.
Their recommended wine is the Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto Reserve 2005.
The particularity of that domain is the blend of grapes from Serralunga D'Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco areas. www.brunogiacosa.it
