Piemonte DOC is a catchall designation for any wine made in Piemonte (Piedmont). As this region is one of the few in Italy, where there are no IGT wines, every quality wine must be labeled as DOC (or DOCG). This includes everything from sparkling to dry white to red to dessert wines. Most examples that are labeled with a variety (Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay) must contain a minimum of 85% of that variety, while for a Moscato, it must be 100% of that grape.

In reality, one rarely sees the Piemonte DOC designation, especially on wines exported to the United States, as there are so many DOP wines in the region. (Wine/Appellations)
