“Un Paese ci vuole, non fosse che per il gusto di andarsene via. Un paese vuol dire non essere soli, sapere che nella gente, nelle piante, nella terra c’è qualcosa di tuo, che quando non ci sei resta ad aspettarti”.
Cesare Pavese
“Pensai a quanti luoghi ci sono nel mondo che appartengono così a qualcuno, che qualcuno ha nel sangue e nessun altro li sà”.
Cesare Pavese
The hills of Langhe and Roero are a magic sight, still more charming by vines’s colours and their wines. It is the landscape that we recognize in Cesare Pavese and Beppe Fenoglio’s books and once visited you remember it when you drink its delicious wines.
The landscape changes as seasons go by. In autumn many tourists come here also in order to sample Alba’s world wide famous white truffle. The mediaval city center is crowded with tourists coming from all over the world to saple the King of tubers and sample all the traditional red wines.
You can visit this country in a “slow”sort way, coming into little or big wine cellars, tasting wines and typical cooking among historical buildings and castles for example Barolo and Grinzane.
The piedmontese langhe offer you a lot of beautiful landscape, unique smells and nice tastes, blending in surprising way.

“Ricordo quanti papaveri si vedevano dalla finestra nella campagna, e quelli non me li sono di certo sognati. Colori così vivi non si sognano, e poi ho sempre osservato che di un sogno non si ricordano i particolari inutili. Ma quei papaveri non servivano a niente e spuntavano sul rialto, dentro la finestra come una cosa vera.”
Cesare Pavese
