Barolo

Tours

Escape the hustle and bustle of Milan and travel to the wine-growing landscapes of Langhe-Roero. Visit a family-run winery nestled in the rolling hills and taste 5 or 6 red wines, including Barolo, the "king of wines." Dive into the secrets of Piedmont wines with local producers in the cellars. Next, take a walking tour of Alba, situated at the heart of the UNESCO-awarded landscape, home to medieval treasures and renowned as the top gourmet destination of the Piedmont region. See the world-famous white truffle exhibition on weekends in October and November. Indulge in a breathtaking view from a medieval castle perched on a hill, offering a sweeping panorama of vineyards and distant mountains. Savor another glass of wine in the region's oldest enoteca (wine shop), adding a touch of history to your experience in the Langhe wine region.

We always start with the tasting of our 7 references, during which presentations are made and we all sit together to taste the wines accompanied by some typical local products. We tell the story of the wine you are drinking, how it was grown, when it was still grapes in the vineyard, and how it was processed in the cellar. Meanwhile, the dishes also arrive, within which you can find numerous typical local products, each to be paired with a different wine. We start with the Roero Arneis, the only white among the reds, a fresh and fruity wine: it is accompanied by tuna sauce. We then move on to red wines with Dogliani, which we usually pair with salami. First the Dogliani DOCG "Sambù", an easy to drink and light wine, which introduces the Dogliani DOCG "Superiore", more structured and complex. Nebbiolo and Barbera are paired with lard and bacon: the former is fresh and young, the latter is soft and fruity. Subsequently we will taste the Langhe "Excelso" blend of several wines to be tasted with meliga pasta (typical Piedmontese biscuit). And then the last but not least wine, the king of wines, the wine of kings: Barolo, to be tasted with cheese and cugnà (halfway between jam and sauce, it is made with fresh fruit and dried fruit ). After the tastings, we move to the cellar, where you can see how we work to create the wines you have just tasted: fermentation, the decanting and aging tanks, and finally the bottling and labeling phase.

All tours begin in Monforte d'Alba, where you'll meet your guide. You'll need your own transportation to follow the guide on a 10-minute drive to the forest area and later to the Enoteca. (A transfer service from Monforte is available upon request for an additional fee, with limited spots.) The experience starts with an introduction to truffles, covering their types, growth, and where they can be found. Upon reaching the forest, you'll meet the truffle hunter and his specially trained dogs before starting the hunt. Please note that any truffles found during the hunt are not included in the price. The walk takes place in a wooded area, so comfortable, outdoor-appropriate clothing is recommended, especially during the colder months. If needed, rubber boots will be provided. At the end of the hunt take your car and head towards Monforte d'alba for the wine tasting, enjoy the view of the Langhe, which has been included by the UNESCO Committee on the World Heritage List as a landscape of high aesthetic value, thrilling in all its shades in every season of the year, especially in autumn, when foliage lends a magical aspect to the Langhe landscapes: every hill and every slope has its own color, and an expert eye can recognize the type of wine being grown, distinguishing the yellow leaves of Nebbiolo (later to become Barolo and Barbaresco) from the bright red ones of Dolcetto and the purplish, almost brown ones of Barbera. Once in Monforte search the Monvino Enoteca and Enjoy the wine tasting, a perfect closure of this unforgettable experience.
