One of the most famous municipalities in Piedmont or Piemonte in Italian is Barbaresco home to beautiful red wine productions from the Nebbiolo grape and a medieval tower Its name stems from “barbarica silver” which means “forest of barbarians” – a term used by the Romans
Referring to forests that prosper throughout this area many of the best restaurants in Langhe can be found here in Barbaresco including Campamac Osteria Walking into this renowned restaurant it’s clear that Campamac lives by what its name stands for “put in some more, give it more”
Lines of pastas in the making like little soldiers gigantic meats hung behind glossy glass panels and vast collections of cheeses stored on refined trays Campamac is an excellent institution serving traditional Piedmontese dishes made from local and premium ingredients During white truffles season
It’s worth it to go for the White Truffle Menu which includes Il Tonno Terra with White Truffle the restaurant’s interpretation of raw meat made with tender Fassona fillet I Tajarin with White Truffle which is tagliolini with 40 egg yolks and emulsified butter Next up, Egg & White Truffle
Which is poached egg on soft potato cream and Vanilla Ice Cream and White Truffle which surprisingly tasted similar to the saffron ice cream I once tasted in Iran The fusion of floral aroma from the vanilla and the musky fragrance of the truffle becomes a blended honey and savory
One landmark to admire is Barolo’s main fortress Built in the 10th century as a way to fend off Hungarians and Saracens Since the cost is higher and supply is limited Barolo wines are coveted around the world meanwhile the aroma is floral with a blend of rose coffee, berries, chocolate and tar.
The best activity to do here is wine tasting and shopping for Barolo wines a delightful place to do so is at Enoteca La Vite Turchese where a tasting session is accompanied by superb explanation of this region’s wines by its knowledgeable staff
The gorgeous Neive is where nobles and bourgeoisies chose to live due to the village’s prosperity from wine production Of course the one thing to do here is to eat well and drink even better Lunch at Castelbourg where the hotel is housed in a restored building from the 17th century
Indulge in fried ravioli, pane fritto or fried bread and endless wines that are just as delicious as friselle what the Italians call open-faced sandwiches Castagnole delle Lanze is located in the most northern area on this list and it’s snuggled between alluring hills thriving vineyards and sweetly scented hazelnut groves
Make sure to step inside the church of San Pietro built in 1691 Then sip on some wine and indulge in aperitvo at Vintriga this area is known for its refreshing Chardonnay if not, order a bottle of sparkly like us. Alba the most well-known town in Piedmont
Is synonymous with white truffles as well as both Barbaresco and Barolo wines Alba is also home to the oldest White Truffle Fair in the world To devour like a true foodie Stop by Osteria Italia Citabiunda which is another wonderful option where truffle dishes are featured on its
Changing menu marked on a chalk board Hazelnut is another locally-sourced favorite so don’t miss the Nutella ravioli for dessert
