Piedmont: Barolo, Barbera, Barbaresco

In late  August I had a fantastic trip with three of my former clients Ava and Dorothy and two friends Marina e Pauline in Piedmont;

we wanted to discover the famous Barolo and Barbera wines, two DOCG wines with many rules such as Chianti or Brunello in Tuscany

 Barolo is the most famous of the two wines, it is a strong, full body, robust, complex, the wine is made with Nebbiolo grape and one of the main rule is the aging: at least three years in oak casks after the vintage

The production area is located south of Asti,  the views are stunning, the vineyards cover the region together with many castles being Piedmont rich of history

We went to Barolo, the town, house of the Barolo wine and we discovered three good wineries producing Barolo and Barbera.

Now we are already thinking at the next trip in Veneto for the Amarone tasting
