View map Splendors of Piedmont •• Demonstration Serious wine lovers are instantly aroused by the name Nebbiolo, the grape that produces the famous Barolos and Barbarescos of Italy’s Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is part of the distinguished trinity of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sirah that produces the most elegant, complex, and long-lasting reds of the world. This course will introduce students to the region, which has been called the Bordeaux of Italy, and explain why it holds its eminent position among the fabled wine zones of the world. But this survey extends far beyond the glories of Barolo and Barnaresco, for the region itself is the home of an incredible number of varietals, such as Cortese, Moscato Asti, Barbara, Brachetto, Dolcetto, and Friesa. Each of these grapes is a story in itself, which you will discover over the course of the evening. $44
