What to expect
You'll start in the cellar where staff walk you through the winemaking process—vineyard management, fermentation, and ageing—without heavy jargon. Then you'll move to a comfortable tasting area where you'll sample Nebbiolo, Vespolina, and Rosato one by one. Each wine comes with carefully chosen local charcuterie and cheese that complement its flavour profile. The pace is unhurried; expect questions and conversation about what you're tasting. Two hours covers the tour and tasting without feeling rushed.
