Barolo and Barbaresco get all the attention, but Piedmont has a rich cast of everyday wines that locals drink constantly, and that represent some of the best values in Italian wine. Today's episode covers Barbera, the region's most planted red grape; Dolcetto, soft and immediately approachable; Moscato d'Asti, one of the world's most underrated pleasures; and Gavi, the crisp white made from Cortese. These are the bottles that fill Piedmontese dinner tables every night.
