Grapes of Piedmont
A patchwork carpet spread over the hillsides of a beautiful country full of authentic character. Mostly known for Barolo, Barbaresco and Asti (yay, bubbles), now it is a home for wine world bandits that dig up old colours and senses. While I was preparing for Atypical ver.1.22474487139, I realised how many little-known grapes Piedmont has to offer. Aside from well-known Nebbiolo, Barbera, Cortese and Moscato, there are less-known grapes like Arneis, Dolcetto, Grignolino, Freisa, Slarina, Brachetto, Uva Rara, Ruché, Pelaverga Piccolo. Of course, it's impossible to fit everything into one event, so today, we have a small subset of all the Piemontese diversity to have a small taste of local grapes.
