We just had an amazing 10 day trip to Piedmont with our Italian friends showing us wine country, Italian style.
Here was a vineyard that we stayed at calles Paulo Manzone. It was in Seralungha D' Alba. Staying this typ of agriturismo set up is definitely the way to go.
You ever drink Barolo in Barolo? We did! Visting top Barolo producers like Guisseppe Rinaldi and Maria Teresa from Mascarello Bartolo we learned about traditional Barolo winemaking and I finally get why you need to wait 20+ years to truly enjoy a Barolo produced in this style. We ate truffles which were in season and had a feast for lunch and dinner every day. Barolo charmed me...
Barolo is not the only region producing great wines from Piedmonts prized Nebiolo grape. (did you know "nebi" means fog in Italian? Nebilo loves fog...) Barbaresco is making great wines as well. We visited the cute little town one evening and then had an amazing meal...
