On the Road in Piemonte

On the Road in Piemonte is an immersive yet approachable exploration of the wines and cuisine of Piedmont, Italy. Through thoughtful conversations and vivid storytelling, it reveals the region’s extraordinary gastronomic richness, bringing you face-to-face with winemakers, farmers, chefs, and artisans from every corner of Piemonte.

Wine education unfolds organically, exploring the remarkable breadth of the region’s offerings in the spirit of a travelogue rather than an encyclopedia.

With more than 85 recipes contributed by Piemontese chefs and home cooks, the book also celebrates the region’s distinctive ingredients and recounts unforgettable meals that capture its essence. Throughout this journey, you’ll develop a deep appreciation for Piedmont’s culinary heritage, along with a nuanced understanding of how it shifts and evolves from one zone to the next.
