My take: Alto-piedmont is Alpine, like Western (Pinerolese, Valsusa, colline Saluzzesi) not the rest of Piedmont even if we get absolutely stunning views of the Alps from Dogliani. Basically anything North or West of Torino.
And yes we love the wines from Il Piane 🥰🥰🥰. Also, barrique can also do pretty subtle and light touch wines if not new and not too extracted...
Great read, pleasant and well documented! Thanks.

Thinking in terms of "anything North or West of Torino" certainly makes it easier to visualize (and describe to others) - thank you!
Agreed that barrique does not have to be all bad! It pays to have a light touch
