Italy's wine-and-food capital, UNESCO terroir of Piedmont.

More accessible Langhe DOC (Nebbiolo, crunchy Dolcetto, Freisa). Round almondy Arneis whites from Roero.
Marl-limestone hills around Alba, home of white truffle. Cellar wines par excellence.
Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
