Better Than Tuscany? Check Out Our Piedmont and Barolo Wine Adventure!

Vince and the crew venture to the rolling hills of Piedmont, home of the world famous wines of Barolo and Barbaresco and even try a few whites you wouldn't normally associate with the region. Vince wanders the quaint hilltop towns of northwest Italy surrounded by vines on all sides, eats his way through endless pastas and vitello tonnato, and is even welcomed into the family at Pio Cesare - one of the oldest and most iconic wine producers in the world!

Want to know more? On each episode of V is for Vino you’ll:

- Meet a winemaker and learn their story. One of the best parts of drinking wine is getting to know the place where it came from and the people who made it!

- Learn about the grapes. Vince breaks down wine topics easily and makes them fun and easy to understand!

- Visit the region. Not everyone gets to travel to wine country as much as they'd like, so experience the beauty and culture first hand with Vince. Travel the world and sip along from the comfort of your couch!

- Cook dishes that pair at a local restaurant…because what’s good wine without good food? Luckily, the world of wine is full of amazing chefs and restaurants ready to serve up something delicious to pair with the wine you just learned about.

This is, hands down, the best show on wine I can possibly find anywhere! Thank you for producing this!!!!

[nielsnielsen]

People often say “I can’t believe this content is free” but in this case it is really the true. This video has some of the best production quality and breath of knowledge I’ve ever seen on YouTube. It’s like a super high end documentary and frankly I feel like I have robbed you watching it for free. Well done.

[latitudedesign]

Congrats, I showed my wife this video and now we are doing a trip to Piedmont in June. I can't wait to show her your Bordeaux episode next ;)

[TwoSedonaBums]

This show went way beyond travel, wine and education... this was a great "family" business interviewing a great family business. Federica and her family blew us away, and we're new fans of you guys too.

[k.shecky]

My appreciation has temporarily shifted from Burgundy to Nebbiolo as of late. I've been drinking pinot for 20+ years now, which says a lot. I have a bottle of Pio Cesare Barolo in my collection that I picked up on a whim, and this awesome show has opened my eyes to the region, passion, and the people there. Life is about discoveries and I love that I can appreciate the legacy and tradition with every pour and tasting. Thank you!!!!

[filipporubino]

I'm from Turin and proud of my home region. We often go for a degustazione in the weekends. Together with the tasting you get an amount of food which is practically an abundant full course meal

[reefreturn]

Beautiful beautiful video, wine and people!

[anjquilinderino]

All the best for Federica and the future of their winery, i know she will bring their wine into greater heights 💖 you go girl!

[TyinAlaska]

When I open my winery I will remember to carry our wines everywhere and I will purposefully take the wine where I can market it. What an amazing story.

[emiliegray]

learned more in this video about italian wine than any where else.

[mremarte]

This documentary is truly heartwarming and inspiring for anyone who has a passion for wine. It beautifully captures the essence of winemaking and the love that goes into every bottle. 🍷✨

[freetolisten]

Cried at the end. Such a beautiful edit… I always liked and felt drawn to the wine farms in the hills and similar things and I never knew why but the narration in the end made me realise that it’s because those places aren’t in a hurry, aren’t trying to catch up to the latest trends or anything, instead they just exist and will continue doing the same thing like they have been doing for such a long time, having found their reason to be and just being content with it :)

Fantastic and all true! We were in Piemonte last May, and wow! The little village of Barolo is like going to Mecca, and it's not even crowded. The vineyards outside of Neive are not to be believed, as you look across the valley toward Barbaresco. We shall return!

[dougmeadowsatdaviddouglas]

My daughter and I just returned from Tuscany and the Chianti region. We had a great time but we are a novice at this. I stumbled across your channel this morning. Wow, what an amazing job you do of telling a story and the way you film and put the videos' is amazing. It is quite the production. Thanks for providing such a high caliber production with great info.

[ghdzq]

My sincere recognition for this great mini documentary on Alba and Pio Cesare. All the best to Federica leading the company - forza e sagezza

[rnjbond]

I'm addicted to these travel series you do! I look forward to seeing your Toscana episode, exploring Chianti, Super Tuscan, and Brunello wines!

[pleyelable]

Great video! looks beautiful and love your enthusiasm and clear explanation.

[MrMolledm]

Just bought tixs for this upcoming family Christmas

Thanks for the invite

[briangaffney]

Your passion for vino along with the Cesare family's dedication to their legacy just put Piedmonte on "my bucket list"... Excellent podcast!

[LordRubino]
