WINE TOURS

Pinot Noir, the prince of
northern Italian wines

from euro 309/person

If Barolo is the king of the wines, Pinot Noir is the Prince. In Italy we can talk about the presence of Pinot Noir since the second half of the nineteenth century. In fact, Lombardy’s Oltrepò, with almost 3000 hectares of Pinot Noir (about 500 of which are for making red wine), is the most important Italian region for this varietal. The winemakers here produce red, white, rose and sparkling wines.

WINE TOURS

A special wine tour of the Langhe,
ideal for lovers of robust red wine.

from euro 309/person

Barbaresco is one of the great wines of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Historically it was called Nebbiolo di Barbaresco, as Nebbiolo it the name of the grape varietal used in its production. General Michael von Melas of Austria celebrated his victory over the French in 1799 with a hearty glass of Barbaresco. Barbaresco has changed since then, however, as it wasn’t until the mid 19th Century that it was vinified into a dry style.
