Before Covid, the gap between North American wineries and Italian ones in terms of hospitality was vast. The former have been offering all kinds of packages for over 20 years—from tasting trails to full-blown shows among the barrels: screenings, wellness treatments, suites nestled among the vines. The latter started later but are now rapidly rethin...

It is 4 a.m. and I am being led through the sleepy foothills of Berri, a small town in the Italian region of Piedmont, by Daniele, a licensed truffle hunter, and his petite white hound Bianca. The stars glitter in the cold, crisp air. These chilly nights are part of a delicate ecosystem in Piedmont and are, along with the bright, hot days, what mak...

You start the morning in a sun-dappled forest, where conifers rise like cathedral columns and the light slips sideways through the trees. Maybe you dip your feet into a stream cold enough to steal your breath and hike through barely trodden alpine ridges to a viewpoint of the pink-hued Monte Rosa.

Pope Leo XIV also has Italian ancestry, similar to Pope Francis, who came from across the world. Robert Francis Prevost's grandfather was born in Italy on June 24, 1876, the feast day of St. John, the patron saint of Turin. The individual listed as John R. Prevost in a death certificate and a 1950 census could very well have been born in Italy as G...

Dolcetto is the name of an Italian grape that grows in the Piedmont region in Northwest Italy. It is overshadowed by another Piedmont grape, Nebbiolo, that’s used to make Barolo, commonly known as the Wine of Kings. The name Dolcetto means “little sweet one;” however, this is not a sweet wine. Not even close. “It’s our everyday wine,” explained Giu...

Unsurprisingly, the city offers plenty of opportunities for those seeking luxury homes....
