Itinerary
A visit to Barolo village, located right in the heart of the Langhe wine route and protected by surrounding hills, almost entirely vineyard-cultivated, is the destination for those who love wine. Visit along Barolo’s cobblestone lanes toward the ancient castle, an ocher-hued fortification with history dating to the 10th century. This medieval village is considered the capital of the 'king' of wines: thanks to the fame that this precious nectar has gained worldwide.
A really nice view point where you can see most of the wine region.

About Langhe-Roero and Monferrato
The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are the vine-covered hills of southern Piedmont, home to Barolo and Barbaresco wines, hilltop villages and white truffles.
These three areas of southern Piedmont form a landscape of rolling hills, vineyards and castle-topped villages, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2014. The Langhe, around Alba, is the home of Barolo and Barbaresco, red wines made from the nebbiolo grape. The Roero lies across the Tanaro river, and Monferrato, further east, reaches Asti and the Barbera and Moscato vineyards.
