Wine Class: Piedmont Italian Prestige at Planet Wine

Native grapes such as Dolcetto, Grignolino, and Barbera are well-established in any respectable Italian restaurant and famed winemakers have worked to restore plantings of truly special native grapes such as Arneis and Ruché to the great excitement of the consumer and sommelier communities.
