相馬野の洞窟・トップ13

One of the many magnificent places in the Langhe. There is even a corkscrew museum with over 600 items!! Avoid on summer weekends, too many people in too little space.

In the heart of Barolo, it is located in the small square in front of the castle

Barolo, city of wine par excellence. There are numerous restaurants, bars and wineries.

Barolo is a small historic center where 600 people live. Barolo is part of the UNESCO world heritage site thanks to its wine production. Barolo is home to a castle whose origins date back to the 10th century.

Serralunga d'Alba is a municipality of only 500 inhabitants but, at the same time, it is one of the most appreciated places by those who visit the Langhe. In fact, Serralunga boasts a castle, whose origins date back to the 14th century, and a panoramic point that allows you to appreciate the beauty of the Langhe hills.

Overlooking the undulating landscape cultivated with Nebbiolo grapes, the castle of Barolo originated around 1000. The name of the town has roots in the Celtic term "bas reul", adopted for its position at a modest altitude compared to the neighboring towns. In 1250, the domain passed into the hands of the Fallettis, who held possession until 1864, a period in which Giulia introduced winemaking at the base of Barolo, according to the technique still used today. Currently, the castle houses the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo, a temple of taste where the cream of local wines is carefully selected, the renowned Barolo DOCG stands out among all.

Castello di Serralunga d'Alba is a strategic medieval defensive fortress that stands out due to its stateliness in the meadow surroundings. This castle with its high tower was used for observation purposes. Fortunately, the fort never suffered war damage and has always been protected from plunder. The only sieges the castle faces today are those from day trippers. Fortunately, these leave no traces and still carry the Castello di Serralunga d'Alba in their hearts as a status symbol. The castle is literally beautiful to look up at. Unfortunately we were not able to visit the castle from the inside, but the outside is impressive and makes many visitors dizzy with its awe-inspiring appearance. On the terrace, near the upper entrance gate, you have a beautiful panoramic view. You see one large patchwork of vineyards, forests and villages.

Beautiful 13th century castle of the Falletti family was built in the 10th century as a defensive fortress. Since 1958, the castle has been owned by the municipality of Barolo and serves as a 'Wine Museum'. This museum would even be the best Wine Museum in Italy. Beautiful to look at and, if possible, to taste the contents.
