Barolo and the Langhe vineyards
Barolo, Italy
Hill villages crowned by castles, surrounded by some of Italy’s most famous vineyards. Book a tasting ahead in autumn.
Barolo lies in the Langhe in Piedmont, near Cuneo. The Langa of Barolo (3,051 ha) is one of the six components of the UNESCO World Heritage site “Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato”, inscribed in 2014. The village is home to the Castello Falletti, which now houses the WiMu wine museum, designed by François Confino, with 25 rooms on five floors; the historic rooms of the Falletti marquises are also open to visitors. The old cellars house the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo, where you can buy and taste wines.
You can explore the vineyards on walks or drives between the villages of the hills. The region is busy in autumn. Allow more driving time on the hill roads than the distances suggest. Half a day is enough for the museum and the village; check opening times beforehand. The village itself can be walked in about 30 minutes, though some climbs are steep; park at the village entrance, as the lanes are narrow. The Castello Falletti offers the best panorama, the famous Cannubi vineyard lies just outside the centre, and Alba is about 15 km away.
