The Wines
A journey to the heart of Italian taste.
Viticulture is a central element of the territory of the Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero, where vineyards create a natural landscape of rare beauty. World-class wines are produced here, the result of tradition and passion, to be enjoyed and paired with local cuisine for a flavor-filled sojourn:
- Barolo: considered one of the great Italian and international wines, with a strong, complex flavor.
- Barbaresco: known for its refinement and fragrance, ideal for accompanying important dishes.
- Nebbiolo: a historic grape variety, the basis of Barolo and Barbaresco.
- Grignolino: an elegant, delicate wine, typical of Monferrato. Dolcetto and Barbera: wines for the entire meal, common throughout the hills.
- Brachetto d’Acqui: a sweet, aromatic, light wine.
- Moscato and Asti Spumante: aromatic and sparkling wines, symbols of the area.
- Pelaverga: an emergent wine with a fresh and pleasant bouquet.
- Arneis and Favorita: the two successful white wines of Roero, appreciated for their freshness and delicacy.
Public wine shops, often set up in castles or historic buildings, offer visitors the chance to taste and purchase local wines, and discover the best “DOC” (Controlled Designation of Origin) producers.
