On the Road in Piemonte
On the Road in Piemonte – With Winemakers, Farmers & Chefs is a monumental and unprecedented work that encapsulates five years of travel, encounters, and discoveries among the hills, vineyards, and tables of Piedmont. Created by wine expert and photographer Jeff Bramwell alongside Jay Murrie, this exclusive editorial project benefits from the prestigious consultancy of Katie Parla to offer an intimate and profound portrait of one of the world's most important and celebrated gastronomic regions.
Far more than a simple technical guide, the book unfolds as a true narrative and visual travel diary. Through passionate interviews, untold stories, and extraordinary photography, the two volumes lead the reader behind the scenes of local culture, giving voice to the winemakers, farmers, artisans, and chefs who safeguard the region's identity every single day. The pages explore Piedmont's incredible viticultural biodiversity, delving deep into its grape varieties and exceptional terroirs. It also includes a tribute to legendary historical estates, such as Giacomo Bologna’s "Braida" winery, which has been a global symbol of Barbera d’Asti for over sixty years.
Further enriching the work is an extraordinary culinary section featuring over 85 original recipes gathered from Piedmontese chefs and cooks, offering an authentic look at regional cuisine and its continuous, fascinating evolution. From an editorial standpoint, the project is presented as an elegant collector's item: a premium slipcase housing two hardcover volumes totaling 1,008 pages, published entirely in English by Free Run Creations and printed in Milan to the highest quality standards.
The visual and narrative soul of the project is guided by the expertise of Jeff Bramwell, a New York native with over twenty years of experience in the wine industry and a photographer specializing in food and wine. His deep passion for Piedmont has captured the heritage of this land with sensitivity and realism. Available in a refined English-language edition, this box set is the perfect gift and an essential addition for collectors, professionals, and anyone wishing to own a piece of authentic Piedmont on their bookshelf.
