Renowned vineyards such as Produttori del Barbaresco and Gaja produce remarkable Barbaresco wines that exemplify the region's winemaking prowess.
Piedmont is also famous for its white wine, Moscato d'Asti, a sweet and aromatic wine made from the Moscato grape. Producers such as Michele Chiarlo and Saracco offer delightful Moscato d'Asti wines that are loved for their fragrant bouquet and refreshing sweetness.
Additionally, the region produces other notable wines, including Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba, and Gavi. These wines exhibit unique characteristics that reflect the local terroir and grape varieties.
Piedmont's fine wines are a true expression of artistry and tradition, showcasing the region's commitment to excellence.

Vinous (89)The 2006 Dolcetto d'Alba Priavino is a big, powerful wine endowed with masses of dark varietal fruit and an equally imposing tannic might. I remember seeing these vineyards just before the harvest in 2006. Voerzio pays just as much attention to his entry-level wines as he does his Barolos. |

Vinous (90)The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is an attractive, gracious La Morra Barolo that will drink well right out of the gate. Sweet tobacco, cedar, mint, crushed flowers and sweet dried cherry are all nicely lifted. Readers will find a translucent, ethereal Barolo that is all about perfume and silkiness. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years, give or take. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)The 2009 Barolo offers up sweet red cherries, tobacco, menthol and licorice. Juicy and full-bodied, the 2009 is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years. The tannins are a bit chunky, but there is more than enough fruit to provide balance. |

Wine Advocate (89)The 2011 Barolo La Vetta is a focused, mid-weight wine that shows more freshness and crispness than many of its peers in this hot vintage. Indeed, that freshness is ultimately what distinguishes this Barolo and is what will hold it steady throughout the course of its evolution. Some 15,000 bottles were made. |
