Some of the best wines from northern Italy

This week Leslie Williams recommends two juicy reds and three northern whites

I’ve focused a lot on southern Italy so now it is the turn of northern Italy. Piemonte borders France and the complexity of barolo and barbaresco can resemble Burgundy while the regions that border Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia take on a more Germanic and Slavic character. Oceans of Prosecco and pinot grigio are also produced there.
