Piedmont 2015

Our Italy specialists, Angela and Ede (owners of the wine shop Edvino – Fine Wines), organised the trip to Piedmont. During those few days we not only got to visit numerous great wineries and taste their wines, but also to enjoy the outstanding cuisine of Piedmont!

What certainly stayed in our memory was the visit to Damiliano and the little delicacies served to us there at lunchtime – but also the visit to the Icardi winery and the warm-hearted way Mariagrazia and her brother Claudio looked after us. Claudio in particular, who teaches organic cultivation at the University of Turin, was bursting with enthusiasm to tell us all about his growing methods. After the wine tasting and our purchases, Claudio then fetched a mature red in a magnum bottle from the cellar and we had a lovely time on the winery’s terrace!
