Pied mine is a wine territory that while undergoing cyclical periods of expansion, a recession over the centuries, has generally enjoyed a great vitality to which the spread of Christianity in the region has contributed in no small part. In fact, to meet the needs of the ecclesiastics, Venus almost always flourished around monasteries and Paris churches. With the arrival of a religion community is in a territory, A slow revision of the PMontes agricultural landscape began to take place, a process which would result in the creation of a landscape very close to the one we know today. During many documents in the typical futal age censuses prior to the year one thousand in which areas under Vine are mentioned. In fact, feudalism, shape and condition, dependence is agrarian system until almost the seventeenth century. At the height of the middle ages, we learned that the codex Estenses, a fourteenth century collection of medieval chronicles and documents concerning the city of ASTy that the town itself was supplied with good and excellent wine. Chronicles, more or less, of the same period, record the existence of the Nebula Vine, ending thirteen o four. And Estratato de la Greekoltura, treatise on agriculture, Pietro de Crischenci, described the excellent vine cultivation methods employed by the farmers of Mufferato. This was the period in which the spanner training came to local prominence. Under the system, the vines were trained on low dry steaks and prune close to the ground. The term spanner subsequently became synonymous in Northern Piedmont with an Ebola grade. Over the years, historical records documenting the development and the local wine industry is enriched with references to the presence in Piedmont of vines such as pinole, Lambruske, and Moscatelle, a new municipal regulations, increasingly concerned grape harvesting, and the protection of vineyards, demonstrating the growing importance of Viticulture across the region. Santel Angelo, pope, Paul, the third's wine bottleer, noted in the sixteenth century that Vogue makes good wine, that a unique wine was made in tortona, and that good wine was found in Aqui. Recording in his notebook, the names of Saluzzo, and various other wine producing centers. This was a period in which the first French inspired Clare wines were produced in the region, making use of previously unknown winemaking techniques. Around the middle of the eighteenth century, the enlightenment, fermented, and the great scientific evolution sat in motion. A profound process of agricultural and viticultural renewal. In Piedmont, the planes welcomed new crops and the vines settled definitely in the hills, passing simultaneously from and sweet wines. To those wines, they are perhaps the ancestors of those we know so well today. But it was only in the nineteenth century that Vail culture took on its modern aspect. And credit for this must go to Camilo Benso, comte de Cavur, and other Pemonte's nobility who were committed to their vineyards and developed the first Amplographic size. In eighteen seventy three, the first register of Nebula grade buyers was created in Marolo, while in nineteen oh eight, the pro Barolo was established to indicate to producers, the systems, and methods of cultivation and to delimit the various areas of origin. In nineteen twenty six, a regulation was introduced to establish the consortio, and indication to the need to reinvigorate the local wine growing community which had fallen into a deep crisis, not only economically, but also of identity due to the scourge of philosopher, GI morphology situated in the northwest of Italy Piedmont border's France, specifically the part known as Ron Alp and provence Al Corte D' Azur regions, Aust the valley, Switzerland, in particular the cantons of Valet and Ticino. Lumberdy, liguria, and Emilia Romania. The name Pete Montez, which was first documented in the twelfth century, refers also to the savoy territory located at the foot of the mountains between the rivers, Paul, San Ghone, and Dorariparia, an area that was further extended with historical expansion of the savoy territory.

The wide growing areas can be divided into three concentric zones. The outermost in the alpine and apennine zone, which covers forty three point three percent of the entire regional surface area. Some reliefs, such as the ancient rock formations of Viola and Kanaveza, and others of moronic origin, such as those of Rivily located at the mouth of the Suszeveli, as well as those of Ivera, are also part of this system. In the central park, there is a large hilly area that covers thirty point three percent of the territory, including the area located on the other side of the river thanaro, and the landgate, a hilly area whose elevation exceed eight hundred meters above sea level. The third zone is the flat area that extends in the eastern part of the region and covers only twenty six point four percent of the territory. It is reversed by some of Italy's most important rivers, including the Dorariparia, Dorabalta, Sezia, and Ticino, and ticino, and tributaries to the left of the Po amongst, which are the Marine beds that are so important to the region's field culture. Ups average this system, an alpine aric is notable, a heli zone and a flat zone that are evidence of the origins of the tertiary, past organic basins. This characteristic basin shape in which the sedimentary secessions of a more recent age dating back thirty million years are evident, those of its region nature, the flesh deposited in an inland sea The bottom of which have subsided rapidly allow the formation of conglomerates sandstones, yellow marlow stones, and green clays, rich in marine fossils. The tributaries to the right of the river Paul, including the Bormida and Scryvya crossed the part of the Hilli region that unlike the other was not covered by quaternary glaciers. In a narrow band of hills between the outlets of the rivers, Dorabaltia and Saysia, are ultra basic green rocks, followed to the east by Permian porphyries and Ms. Zooic sedimentary formations, on this rocky substratum covered by Flavia glacial deposits, the Boca Bramaterra Gautinara and Yemen areas emerged. In the lower areas of Piedmont, the climate is temporary subcontinental in character. While as one ascents in altitude, it becomes progressively temporary cold or cold. The lower areas are characterized by cold and fairly wet winters, generally with little rain, while annual rainfall is higher on the mountain and foothill slopes in the north of the region. Moferrato is characterized by soils of sandstone, Marl and clay. In lower Moferrato, vines such as Barbera, granulino, and Frisia are grown. While in Alto Moferrato, doceto and Cortez are cultivated. Not far from the Strevie near Aquidermaine emerged the morris and sandstones of Cera Valiano, which gave rise to an important wine grown district. Since it is here the production of Braceto daqui is concentrated. The heart of the Langue located into the right of the river Tannaro is divided into Altalunga made up of glass, erodible rocks, and basilanga. Characterized by softer hillsides with a character more favorable to build a culture. The soils date back to the middle and upper myosin, period and consists of morals with sandy intercalations. To the right of the river Tannaro in the province of Kuneo, also in the tertiary basin, is the Barbarisco area located between the municipalities of Trezo, Nave, and Alba. Moving southwards between two hundred and fifty and five hundred meters above sea level, the parallel area opens up with medium high hills, sunny and protected from the north winds. On the left of the bag, of the river tunnel lies the ROero area characterized by a secession of place, morals and scents of myosin and pliocene origin where vines such as Naviolo Aronese and Cortese are grown. The Nitzam infrared area has redder, loose, and well drained myosin soils with a predominantly a renaissance composition. In Northwestern part of the region, lies the important wine growing area of Canaverze located on the Miranda substrates along the border that in Roman times, border goal in the middle ages, the kingdom of Burgundy. And today marks the border without the valley. A border on which the Carima wine growers operate. The terrain has a rocky substrate consisting of metamorphic rocks from the Caesar landfill with local coverings of glacial deposits. Moving northeast, near the basin of the Cecia River and its outlet into the Po valley, one encounters the small Gatinara Appalachian, located on an ancient rock basement consisting of massasoit rocks and permanent vulcanites covered by loose, furtite soils of glacial origin. In and around Navara are more in hills, stretching in a north south direction, parallel to the Cisia and located on Rocky substrate covered by glacial deposits. In the province of Alexandria lies the Gavy wine region near the town of Noviligore, Here, the outcrops are relatively recent and belong to both the marine playing scene spirit with clays and sands and a continental place the scene with heavily sending alluvial soils.
