One is welcomed more like a friend than a customer by this winemaker and his family. Enjoy a leisurely, informative tasting before selecting the wines you want to buy. Throughout the range they are all good value. One of the reasons I like to visit Italy in my own car each year is to be able to take several cases of Mauro Sebaste's lovely wine back to England with me. It never disappoints.
2. Montaribaldi
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 158 reviews
Tradition and innovation. This is the oxymoron on which the Montaribaldi company grounds its great success. Founded in 1968 in the very heart of Barbaresco by Giuseppe Talliano and his wife, it was then taken over in 1994 by their sons Luciano and Roberto. Now the whole family is running it, brewing with passion the best quality wines while always respecting the oldest traditions.As matter of fact, in the last few years, the company has decided to bet on innovation without changing its best traditions. It is exactly that which makes the company able to continuously improve the quality of their wines, while always promoting their land. Such careful management, along with the favorable climate conditions, the richness of its soil, the implementation of new biodynamic techniques, the accurate selection of wines and the careful vinification let Montaribaldi obtain a wide range of excellent, unique wines which are appreciated all over the world and which have become a clear example of the “glocal” philosophy.

Friendly vineyard offering excellent tours and wine tastings in a nice setting (the inside space remains cool during the heatwave).

Rolling hills, soft breezes, intense sun around harvest time, the entire Langhe is a treasure. Its curving roads deliver one scenery after another, with medieval castles, classic churches, cozy restaurants and lively wine bars. No wonder UNESCO listed the entire region as a patrimony of mankind. The region needs to be explored slowly: drive leisurely or ride a bike, or, if that is your style, hike. There are hundreds of hostels and B&Bs, hotels ranging from the inexpensive to the luxurious, and a similarly broad range of dining options. But you visit because of the wines. Arneis, Favorita, Cortese and the enormous flexibility of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato offer you an endless selection of wines for all tastes.
4. Antiche Cantine Marchesi Di Barolo

In juli 2020 we visited the winery of Marchesi di Barolo. The winery is very nice located and decorated. We had a guided tour during which we learned about the history and the way the wines are stored. It was very facinating to see the big wine barrels in which the wines are stored untill they are ready to be bottled. The tour ended in the shop where all their wines can be bought. Unfortunately the wine tasting was limited due to COVID-19. We bought some wines which tasted fantastic. In short it was a very interesting visit which we can recommend to everyone visiting the Barolo area.
5. Agricola Gian Piero Marrone

In the heart of the Langa of Barolo, in Annunziata of La Morra, the Azienda Agricola Marrone produces fine wines with intense fragrances and elegant flavours. You are always welcome to come and visit our wine cellar and our beautiful tasting room; we can also take care of your days in our region thanks to Italian Delights, our incoming tour operator. A good chance to experience wines, food and to discover a wonderful land.

Absolutely stunning winery with friendly, informative guides and, most importantly, delicious wine! The four course wine pairing lunch was amazing and the winery was one of the most memorable parts of my entire trip to Italy.
6. Centro Storico

We were much taken by Alba's Centro Storico on a number of visits we made when staying near Asti. In fact we much preferred it to Asti! It is a joy to stroll around with many pedestrianised streets, an excellent central piazza, a superb Duomo, some very interesting smaller churches, and lots of cafes and restaurants. Lots of noisy locals and happy tourists made for great people watching. If you're staying anywhere near Alba you should most assuredly pay the old historical centre a visit.

Reviewed By PiemonteFoodie - Alba, Italy
We like our churches old, but don’t expect them to evolve in ways that are recognizable. Here is a church founded in the 11th century. It has been cared for, renovated, and restored for centuries (you can Google the history and details), but what I really appreciate about this cathedral is the very modern chandelier (for lack of a better term) that hangs above the alter. I know nothing about it, but it’s like a constellation of stars. It reminds us (or me) that we also have a place in history; we might not see it now — just as generations of artists and parishioner throughout the ages gave little thought to our 21st-century reaction — but it signaled to me that tourists in the next millennium will look at this light fixture as something antiquated. So many churches seem artificially stuck in time; this bridges past and present. And now I feel a part of history.

Discover the allure of one of Italy’s most prized foods. At this month-long festival held in the northern Italian city of Alba you can see Medieval activities with traditional dress, watch a donkey race, visit special art and music events, witness the bidding on the stratospherically-priced white truffles, and of course indulge in truffle tastings.

I really love this festival - I’ve been several times now and Alba itself rolls out the red carpet for the fest too. The booths are so much fun, be sure to get the wine tasting options it’s fun - there’s a whole row of vintners too taste wine as well. The tartufo smell is super strong but I love it - it always surprises me! Mellow and intense and I really love the oil that is easy to purchase with family run farms and booths with personal service. Loved the cheese tastings too! ????
