Winelist: Piedmont in Northern Italy

I was asked recently what wine region I would most like to live in full-time and after a few moments thought I surprised myself by choosing not Burgundy or Provence but Piedmont in Northern Italy.

There are a few reasons including the fact that it was in Piedmont that the Slow Food movement began, and where it has its largest influence, but also because it is home to two of my favourite things — truffles and the Nebbiolo grape which also happily go very well together.
