ベーネ・ヴァジエナの洞窟・トップ17

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.

The Castle of Carrù is an ancient fortress located in the city of Carrù, in the province of Cuneo. Dating back to the 12th century, the castle was built to defend the city from enemy attacks and has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. In addition to its history, Castello di Carrù is also famous for the legend of the Blue Lady, a ghost who is said to still appear in the castle today. The castle is open to the public and can be visited during some Carruccesi events, such as the Grape Festival, and the surrounding area offers various activities, including excursions on foot and by bicycle, visits to wine cellars and tastings of local products.

Small and renowned village in the Langhe, easily recognizable even from a distance due to the presence of an imposing castle that characterizes the town

The castle of the Princes of Acaja is a historic building in Fossano, in the province of Cuneo; stands out majestically in the homonymous square of the town, characterizing the urban landscape. Symbol of the city, it was built in the center of the ancient village of Fossano, in a panoramic and well defensible position, at the behest of Philip I of Savoy-Achaia. Its construction began in 1324 [1] and already eight years later, in 1332, the basic structures were completed. Hundreds of workers worked on its construction; 3,355,000 bricks, 26,000 tiles, 19,861 stone carts were needed. It houses the Historical Archive (with ancient documents dating back to the thirteenth century) and has now become a civic library. In June it serves as the setting for the historic Palio dei Borghi and Giostra dell'Oca. It is included in the "Open Castles" circuit of Lower Piedmont.

Visiting this small village is to be done and redone especially during the festivals

Beautiful castle with an adjoining wine museum 🍷 truly incredible, ancient but at the same time interactive, inside we also find a wine shop with really friendly and well-trained staff and another room where they do local wine 🍷and cheese 🧀 tastings

The Castello Falletti, the crowd puller of Barolo was built as a defensive fortress and is a landmark for many kilometres in the Langhe landscape. Small narrow streets with one or more wine bars create a lively atmosphere in the medieval settlement. The foundations from the 10th century keep our feet firmly on the ground. The strategic location of the renovated 13th century castle still offers beautiful views over the surrounding hills and vineyards today.

Barolo is a small wine village that many people know from the wine of the same name, which is grown in the area. The protected Nebbiolo grape has been at home here since 1647 and ripens abundantly on the vines on the flanks. The commander in chief of Italian wine produces tasty royal wines. A feast for the eyes, an experience for the body and, if you are not careful, a foggy experience for the mind. But a visit to the picturesque village could certainly not be missed in our discovery of the many vineyards in the Piedmont. We park our steel car on the edge of the plateau. We get to know the lively center at a walking pace. In almost every street you will find one or more wine bars that invite you to taste before purchasing. The temptation is great, cups are filled and ask to be sipped or slurped. We wisely let the third chalice pass, for we have yet to march further. Sober, but slaloming, we wander through the streets and visit the Castello Falletti for tea. The castle, which was once built as a defensive fortress, is a landmark for many kilometers in the Langhe landscape. The foundations from the 10th century keep our feet firmly on the ground. The strategic location of the converted 13th century castle still offers beautiful views over the surrounding hills and vineyards. The castle is now one of the 'best wine museums' in Italy. The museum is located over about five floors and focuses on the history and current techniques of viticulture in the area. Our visit to Barolo ultimately ends where it began, with one difference: fill up that third chalice. Another crate richer and a few euros poorer, we leave the cute village with its cobbled pebbles and medieval houses, on to the next discovery.
