Why it matters A true local specialty: Rooted in the Colli Bolognesi hills near Bologna, with a strong regional identity. The grape behind the name: Made from the Pignoletto grape, widely identified today with Grechetto Gentile. Many styles, one signature freshness: Found as fermo (still), frizzante, and spumante, typically showing citrus, pear/apple, white flowers, and sometimes a hint of almond/herbs. A wine with deep roots: Grown for centuries in the Bolognese countrysid

The region is particularly famous for its refined cuisine that fuses tradition with creativity, and its prestigious wines that echo the history and culture of this beautiful land. Let’s embark on a journey to explore the local cuisine and wine highlights of Piedmont.
