Experiencing Piedmont

A magical journey through the wine and food regions of Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Monferrato

Here, everything revolves around wine. The answer lies in the “terroir”, a French word that identifies all those factors (environment, farming techniques, protection of designations of origin) that allow you to understand the relationship between the vine and its environment. And, in the Langhe, this relation is presented as one of the most privileged in the world. The valleys (which create different microclimates and ideals), the temperature (which increases the concentration of aromas in the skins), the composition of the soil (which has begun to form sixteen million years ago), the substrates loamy, calcareous and sandy alternating, give life to an extraordinary variety of wine grapes. The Langhe are not only famous for the wine, but also for the remarkable cuisine, which is using the specialties of the area, especially the truffle and cheese. You will be able to live an unique journey that will drastically improve your knowledge in wine and food.
