Rustic with a view in Vergne

Vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, gentle hillside slopes, small perched villages, towers, and castles—this is how the territory of the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato appears at first glance, among the most beautiful in Piedmont. The landscapes of the Langhe provide strong emotions all year round. Their gentle, vine-covered hills, the splendid castles that dominate the valleys dotted with villages, the parish churches, and the wine cellars make this Piedmontese area one of the most culturally and scenically interesting in Italy. However, autumn is the ideal season to fully appreciate its poetry, admire its beauty, discover its treasures, taste its gastronomic delights, and appreciate its wine culture. Barolo is the heart of this area, which has gained worldwide prominence not only for its prestigious wines but also for its cultural approach. Barolo is an essential part of the towns of the “Langa del Barolo,” one of the six core areas included in the “Wine Landscapes of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato,” recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014 and selected by Lonely Planet in 2019 as a top global destination. It is an ancient village rich in history and gastronomic traditions. It is a small oasis for relaxation, offering the perfect compromise for a holiday focused on leisure, as well as bike rides or vineyard explorations. Barolo is situated on a small plateau shaped like a spur, protected by the surrounding hills arranged in an amphitheater. Its castle, the center and heart of the village, is well-maintained and restored: it houses the wine museum (WIMU) and, in the ancient cellars, the regional wine cellar of Barolo. The territory of the municipality is included in the area defined by the DOCG regulations for Barolo. Just 15 minutes from Alba, the vibrant heart of the Truffle Fair.
