Traditional Piedmont products are well-known all over the world. The hilly territory covers almost 30% of the region where there are some of the most important wine-growing regions in the world, such as Barolo and Barbaresco are found. Being the region of great cheese-producers, traditional Piedmontese dishes are often garnished with typical local cheeses . Two of the main cheeses are Bra and Castelmagno, both produced in the area of Cuneo. The prestigious white truffle is produced and exported by the towns of Cuneo, Asti and parts of Turin. The white truffle can truly enhance any kind of dish of the Piedmont tradition as well as other dishes. The region is the second biggest in Italy after Sicily. The word Piedmont literally means 'at the foot of the mountains' (pedemontium in latin) and it is surrounded on three sides by mountain chains, both the Alps and the Apennines.


Paolo Scavino is an historic winery in the Barolo area founded in 1923 by Lorenzo and his son Paolo Scavino. The Company has always been a leader in the production of Barolo wine as it vinifies some of the most exclusive crus of the areas. It was the young Enrico Scavino in 1978 who convinced his father Paolo to vinify separately Nebbioli of Fiasco Cru, as all the years of superior quality. Today Henry with his wife and his daughters Enrica and Elisa are the third and fourth generation leading the company, and then as now the goal is to produce wines worthy of the beautiful territory from which they come from.
