Piedmont is best known for its red wines made from Nebbiolo and Barbera. Not only is Nebbiolo one of the most planted varieties in Piedmont, but it is also the mainstay of the region's premium wines. Barbaresco and Barolo, which are two of the region's best red wines, are both made from Nebbiolo. Both are light in color, but offer very different experiences. On the palate, the Barolo offers a fuller, richer mouthfeel and is considered more serious. The Barbaresco, on the other hand, is slightly sharper and younger.
