Piedmont is a region in northwest Italy with a long and important vocation for winemaking. Its name, meaning “at the foot of the mountains”, refers to the lie of its land: on one side, it is protected by the Alps, while up from the Ligurian Sea to the south blows the warm marin wind. This combination creates an especially mild climate suitable for vine cultivation. Wine has always been synonymous with a strong historical and cultural identity and the earliest evidence of winemaking dates back to the 10th century BC . In June 2014, the vineyard landscape of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, along with the “underground cathedrals” (the historical wine cellars) of Canelli, were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
