Piemonte = wine !
It's very simple, when you live in Piemonte you drink wine, you talk about wine and most people also have a vineyard for their own table wine.
It's only logical that we visit the wineries in our neighboorhood, to look for possibilities to work together for our guests.
Yesterday we really found a little hidden gem. In the hills above Montechiaro d'Acqui, there is a natural winemaker with only 20 000 square metres of vineyard, but with a passion for it that I can't discribe, you have to see him. He's 80, but seems a lot younger, always smiling and telling stories about wines but also about the book he wrote (about his experiences in the resistance in WWII).
This wine farm existed when Napoleon (in 1797) passed here and it was always the same family.
With his daughter in law we made plans for pizza and wine evenings, degustations ...
I'm sure it will be great working with them !

What are they called? And what wines do they produce? I'm always interested in new little gems that I can use in my tastings.
That is so amazing....1797 is not long after the first white people came to Australia!
