Informations about region

Piemonte, one of the largest wine regions of Italy situated in the northwest part of the country, with an area of 23 399 km². Its landforms consist of plains (24,4%), hills (30,3%), and mountainous areas (43,3%) – the mountain ranges of the Alps in the highest parts more than 4000 metres high, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso.

This unique position and two big rivers flowing through Piemonte – Pad and Tanaro provide excellent conditions for grape growing, and due to big temperature differences grapes accumulate aroma compounds.

The ancient Greeks reaching the Ligurian ports apart from the amphors full of wine, brought with them cuttings of grapes and began wine cultivation on the inland areas. After the fall of the Roman Empire and the invasions of barbarians wine cultivation developed all the time. Since the Middle Ages the city of Asti has been widely known for its good and fine wines. There was the first mention about Nebbiolo - the most famous grape of this region.
