In a post some time ago (read it here), I told you about how the habit of having an aperitif in Turin was born and how Vermouth, together with the city, was the protagonist in this invention. If you are in Turin as a tourist, a student or simply if you live nearby, I’m…
When we asked Marco and Marta from Cascina Albano (Barbaresco) to tell us about their wine production in the Langhe, they began as follows: “Tasting our wines we feel like we are drinking our vineyards, we say it with pride because it has always been the aim of our cellar.” It seems very interesting…
It’s true, it’s true, here in Piedmont we do not have the sea, and in summer, I admit, we would like to very much. However, the name “Pied-mont” derives from its position “at the foot of the mountains“, and with the recent summer heat, having the mountains at your doorstep is certainly an appreciable…
Waiting for the curtain to open again on this grand occasion, the International White Truffle Fair of Alba (from 5 October to 24 November), today I’ll accompany you to discover this beautiful and elegant town just a bit more than an hour outside of Turin.

Lake Viverone – When I drive from Turin heading north, especially in this season, I am always fascinated by the spectacular landscape: the towering and impressive Alps with their peaks covered in snow down almost to their bases, amplifying the winter sunlight. The view is not impeded by any obstacles and the mountains seem…
Today we want: contemporary art, history, nature, panoramas and a good wine. Where do we go? To the Langhe! We allow ourselves to be guided by the panoramic paths of the country roads (do not take the highway!) and in about an hour we find ourselves on top of the hill of the Brunate…
The new frontier of trendy in Turin is Monferrato Street (Via Monferrato in Italian). Take it from someone that for more than 10 years has toured the city in all its nooks and crannies in search of beauty, someone that has experienced entertainment in all its best events, someone that has changed apartments so…
…continued from part I. The awards received as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, the appreciation of UNESCO, and the conferment of many DOC wines to the wines of the area, would make any average person modestly proud, but here in Cella Monte, no. Here you will still find people who, while…
