Land of green hills and wine-gastronomic tourism recognized throughout the world, the Piedmont is revisited by the international press: this time it is the British “Guardian” which dedicates an extensive tribute to the region located in northern Italy.

The newspaper talks about the good food and wines produced there, but also about... art that comes from the most unexpected places, bringing to life small unforgettable corners.

No Piedmont you can eat well, drink even better and find truly incredible little pearls of art: we are in the splendid mountainous area of ​​Langhe and Roero, a lush, green landscape that all of Italy can be proud of. 

Its gentle hills unfold in the territories of the province of Cuneo, where small villages dot a vast expanse of vineyards where some of the most famous labels in the world come from.

Precious varieties of black and white grapes – Nebbiolo, Barbera, Moscato, among others – are grown along rows that stretch as far as the eye can see, until harvest time arrives in autumn.

And that's when the magic happens: as nature transforms, abandoning its bright green to take on thousands of shades of yellow, orange and red, begins the long process that leads to the birth of those delicious wines so beloved by foreign tourists – and of course, also by Italians.

If the mountainous landscapes immediately remind you of renowned wines, there are many other delicacies that are born here

The land is fertile and offers products 0 km that are among the Italian excellences, such as honey, white truffles or the famous hazelnuts (the same ones that end up in neighboring Alba to feed the Ferrero). 

And it's not at all difficult to find restaurants or tractors where you can eat typical specialties, in a true mix of flavors between the past and the present.
