Gino’s Italian Escape

S04E06 Piedmonte

Gino D'Acampo embarks on a journey through Piedmont, a picturesque northern region nestled between France and Switzerland at the base of the Alps. Renowned for its exquisite cuisine and wines like barolo, Piedmont also hosts a vibrant truffle festival in Alba. There, Gino encounters a truffle hunter accompanied by his loyal canine companion. The region is also pivotal to Italy's rice production, prompting Gino to participate in rice harvesting and prepare a dish that pays tribute to the rich flavors of the Po Valley.
