Barolo, Barbaresco, Fast Cars & Chocolate!
Benvenuti and welcome to Piedmont, a land rich in food culture, wine and cars. Spanning an area of 25,402 square kilometres or 9,808 square miles, this fertile agricultural of Italy is a great wine producing region. Say the word Piedmont and visions of Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Barbara and Dolcetto come to mind.
And
it doesn't stop with wine! Alba is the home of Ferrero's chocolates,
makers of deep, rich chocolate, of pralines and hazelnut creams made the
old fashioned way and its famed truffles!
It's
also a food haven, and home to Slow Food and Terra Madre. Driving
through green landscapes means passing by dreamy castles, vineyards and
romantic hills shrouded in mist. Surrounded by the Alps, this lovely
region of Piedmont translates to 'at the foot of the mountain'. And in between the sipping and swirling, try agnolotti, fresh stuffed pasta ribbons folded into delicate bites, cavolo verza ripieno, stuffed Savoy cabbage, and a baci di dama (a dame's kiss), but don't worry, it's a cookie!
