With a preponderance of produce for export and fresh consumption, the Piemonte region, located on the northwest part of Italy, is a leading producer of fruit in Europe in terms of quantity and quality.
Main productions are apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, kiwis, apricots, plums, strawberries and berry fruits. At the same time, Piemonte features important cultivations of hazelnuts and chestnuts, and the production of worldwide recognized wines. Barolo, Barbaresco and Asti spumante are well known by connoisseurs. This diversity of produce, combined with IPM or organic farming covering 90% of the cultivations, and the implementation of top of the line technologies against climatic adversities, such as frost and hail, make Piemonte the perfect destination for an intense technical tour, visiting cultivation fields, vineyards, packing houses and cellars. Such a concentration of activities makes possible to plan technical visits in a restricted area, avoiding the burden of long transferring.
