About this tour
Spend two hours in the Langhe hills exploring a working winery perched above the Barolo vineyards. Walk through the subterranean barrel cellar where oak-aged wines mature, then taste three wines tracing the progression from young Nebbiolo through to full Barolo, paired with local cured meats, cheeses and hazelnuts. A straightforward introduction to Piedmont's most celebrated wine.

What to expect
You'll start at the cellar entrance and descend into the cool stone barrel room where Barolo ages in French oak. The winemaker or guide walks you through what you're seeing—barrel types, aging duration, the chemical changes happening inside. Upstairs, settle at a tasting table with three glasses lined up. You'll work through them methodically: the fresher Nebbiolo first, building toward the structured Barolo. Each pour comes with sliced salami, creamy cheese, roasted hazelnuts and bread to cleanse your palate between wines. Expect honest talk about tannins and structure rather than flowery descriptions.
Good to know
The winery sits on a steep hillside but is entirely accessible by ramp. Allow 10 minutes to reach the top from parking. Arrive thirsty but not on an empty stomach—the wines pair better with food. Not suitable if pregnant. Booking ahead is essential, especially weekends.
