Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and… Barrique.
Getting inside the core of Piedmont's winemaking
with a focus on the wines which make this region
one of the most acclaimed wine district of the
world.
Also, an interesting visit to an artisan of
barrique in Asti area to discover the secrets of
the barrique, vexed protagonist of the winemaking
process in the last decades. A 3 chaptered-day
wine tour developing different topics on
vineyards, wines and wine process: “Searching His
Majesty Barolo” - an instructive visit to the
Museum of Renato Ratti's cellars, the first
winemaker who created a map of vineyards in
Langhe and, afterwards, a visit and tasting
session at Conterno-Fantino, even
this year top-scored by Wine Spectator; “A day
spent among Barriques” - using or not using
barrique? Visiting a barrique-factory we'll try
to understand the core of the vexed question.
Then, a not to miss visit to the cellars famous
for the first barbera passed in barrique, the
very renowned Braida's "Bricco
dell'Uccellone"; “Alba and the Heart of
Barbaresco” - in the resort naming the
wine itself we'll visit a great name of
barbaresco production, Mr Albino Rocca. Then,
straight to Alba to visit the many events
occurring in the month of October, the charming
mediaeval streets and another historic wine
maker, Pio
Cesare.
