Piedmont Region / Italy / Barbera & Gavi – weird to put wines from Piedmont as good value, but hear us out. If you take a pass on the famous and expensive Nebbiolo and Barolo, you are still getting the same land, same climate, same terroir, same good stuff.
What makes this region special – Some people believe Piedmont has the best land and climate in the world to produce wine. Some self-promotion there no doubt, and some other areas may not agree. That said, we can all agree it is indeed good. But you know how a Volkswagen is ¾ an Audi, but 1/3 the price? That is what Berbera and Gavi wines are.
