The Wines and Foods of Piemonte
Piemonte in northwestern Italy, is one of the world's greatest wine and food regions. This book, written by Tom Hyland, a specialist in Italian wines for more than twenty years, is divided into two parts: the first is the author's overview of the region's wines, from the great reds, such as Barolo and Barbaresco, to the whites, sparkling, and dessert wines. The second part contains interviews with twenty of the region's leading winemakers, winery owners and chefs. There is also an appendix that covers the leading restaurants of Piemonte, along with a list of more than 200 local wines recommended by the author.
There are more than 40 photos, many of them in color, all taken by the author, encompassing the the landscape and the foods. The maps, illustrating the wine districts of the region, were created especially for this book by famed cartographer, Alessandro Masnaghetti.
