Piedmont is a region famous for its red wines, but it also produces excellent white wines that deserve to be discovered, such as Arneis, Cortese, Timorasso, and Moscato d'Asti.
Arneis is a native vine of Piedmont, which adapts well to the temperate climate of the region, where it produces fresh and aromatic white wines, with an intense aroma of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit, and a fresh, savory and mineral flavor. Arneis is ideal for an aperitif or to accompany fish dishes. Cortese is another native vine of Piedmont, which is mainly found in the Gavi area. Cortese produces mineral and savory white wines, with a delicate aroma of white flowers and citrus fruits, and a fresh and savory flavor. Cortese is perfect for white meat or vegetable dishes. Timorasso is a relatively new vine, which has spread in Piedmont only in the last few decades. Timorasso produces aromatic and complex white wines, with an intense aroma of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit and citrus fruits, and a rich and structured flavor. Moscato d'Asti is a sweet and fruity wine, produced with the white Moscato vine. Moscato d'Asti is ideal for desserts or summer aperitifs.
These are just some of the many Piedmontese white wines that deserve to be discovered. If you are looking for a fresh, aromatic, and complex wine, Piedmont will surprise you.
