DAY EXCURSION TO BAROLO, LANGHE - TRIP CODE: LANGHEENG
Meeting of guests in the Italian Riviera and private transfer to Barolo and Langhe, located in a very special area: protected by the Alps in the North, West and South and characterized by a very diversified environment.
The weather, therefore, is exceptionally favorable for viticulture: thanks to the cold continental temperatures and the well-defined seasons, the grapes can enhance particularly fine and intense aromas. Barolo was born in these conditions. Its name means "low place" because, although it is located on the top of the hill overlooking the valley towards Alba, it is surrounded by higher hills that protect it from the weather fronts and extreme air flow.
After a walking tour of the village, home to the famous wine produced with Nebbiolo grapes, tasting of Barolo wine in the building overlooking the Castle of the Marchesi Falletti. Visit of the historic 9th century cellar and the "winery", where it is also possible to buy wines together with the unique products of the region.
The tour lasts about 30 minutes and includes the tasting of the most representative wines, the history of a winery where, in the heart of the Langhe and protected by rolling hills, this wine was born, which, as French tradition suggests, was called Barolo as the city where it was first produced. No one at that moment could have imagined that he was destined one day to be king: the king of wines, the wine of kings.
After the tasting visit of the Langhe region; stop at Belvedere di la Morra for an incredible view of the countryside and tasting of a gourmet lunch in La Morra with its wines. Then, for those who want, stop at the Montezemolo winery for a taste of the wine. The excursion ends with a guided tour of Alba, the city of white truffles, where it will be possible to taste Piedmontese specialties. Finally, return to the Italian Riviera.
