Piemonte in today's Guardian

[joe]

In connection with the praise for Piemonte in the thread on @BEERMAN's trip report, today's Guardian chimed in with a nice brief on the region :

Piedmont on a plate: Italy’s lush land of food, wine and art

This region of north-west Italy is brimful of brilliant small food producers. Meanwhile, a British-born artist has slapped a wodge of vivid colour onto its bucolic scenery

Thanks for posting this

Good that whilst mentioning the Langhe, they ventured across the river and talked about the Roero. Not sure I'd call Angelo Negro the King of Roero wines. Barring some famous Langhe producers dabbling in the Roero, I think Matteo Correggia IMO has the higher profile. I suspect that might have been a little 'product placement'!

A nice connection to Beerman's posts, with Boffa getting a mention.

Also good to see Cugna / Cogna mentioned in passing. The commercial ones can be good, but some of the (winery) home-made ones are truly stunning.

Likewise the local hazelnuts, which I think are superb

Overall not a bad article at all

Yes, I even added the honey producer and the mill - both mentioned in the article and that I had not heard of before - to our itinerary for next time. Hopefully October next year...
