Over many years of travelling to and throughout Italy, I have been struck by the wide diversity of wine to be found throughout Italy and the contrasting and perplexing laser-like focus of wine professionals and amateurs alike on a limited range of established and prestigious appellations. For example, Piedmont, a region blessed with a multitude of exceptional wines is often and only viewed through the spectrum of Barolo and, perhaps, Barbaresco. Allow us to open the doors wide to an Italy that offers joys beyond the imagination, from a vinous, culinary and cultural perspective. Join us on a tour of the mountain regions of the Alto Piemonte, the Canavese and the Valle d’Aosta and discover the grandeur of Torino in the fashion that I have developed during my forty-year career seeking out the finest wines of Italy and France.
