His Majesty of the Langhe: Barolo on a Vespa
Our Vespa tour to discover Barolo starts in Alba and, through Bra, Barolo and Monforte, arrives in La Morra, travelling through the Barolo lands. In this territory of the Langhe, everything speaks of the Wine of Kings and the King of Wines: Barolo. Farmers have already been producing this type of wine for two centuries. Although it has changed over time, it has retained certain typical characteristics that make it unique in the world.
Wasting no more time, we jump into the saddle of the Vespa and begin this tour in the footsteps of Barolo. The starting point is Alba, a land of ancient traditions and truffles. Our route winds through the vineyards and "Crus" of Barolo, those vineyards where it is possible to produce this Piedmontese wine, until we reach Bra. These are the two main towns in the Langhe, two places full of culture, access points to the Langhe and Roero.
Along the way, we will meet the castle of Grinzane Cavour, where theEnoteca Regionale del Barolo is located, and that of Serralunga before arriving in Barolo.
Here, a visit to a local wine cellar and a tasting of Barolo is a must. Certainly an interesting break before heading back towards Alba, through vineyards and hazelnut groves, with some tannin in the mouth!
This Vespa tour to discover Barolo will allow you to enjoy the colours and scents of the most authentic Langa: a real promised land for lovers of food and wine excellence made in Italy, or rather in Piedmont!
