Our Piedmont wine and Alba white truffle hunt adventure

+ two delicious Piedmontese recipes

This past week, we headed up to Piedmont for a week of exploration into a region I've frequently overlooked. Along with two dear friends who visit Italy this time of year every year, we worked out a plan to take a deep dive into Piedmont wines, and unique specialty foods like the Alba white truffle and Gianduia chocolates.

My podcast episode this week was all about the wines from Piedmont. I love Piedmont wines and they’re perhaps the best known worldwide; think Barolo and Barbaresco.

It's one thing to enjoy the wines - which I've been doing for years - and quite another to head up into the Piedmont hills to visit these exquisite wineries. Lots of details in this week’s podcast episode with information about the very best Piedmont wines, and some of the lesser known more affordable reds. My buddy and Italian wine expert, Cynthia Chaplin, always shares the most engaging information about Italian wines and wineries and the people behind them, and this Piedmont wine episode is no exception.
