Tour of Italy: Piedmont
The protagonist of our Tour of Italy today is Piedmont. With Piedmont, one inevitably thinks of its history, architecture, traditions, environment, but also of its industrial sector and, on the same level, of its gastronomic and wine sector. From Barolo to Barbaresco, some of the best wines in the world come from this land.
