Wine & gastronomy


   "Dolore passionale"  our own wine- you can taste it when wou are visiting us
 

Food & wine experiences in Piedmont


In addition to tourism, we are producing our own wine. Our first harvest was
in september 2006 and we have a very good Barbera d’Asti for you to try during your stay with us.

In addition to be one of the most famous wine area in Europe, Piedmont is well-known for its kitchen. Two important reasons to have your holiday in Piedmont must be the food and the wine.  You will find good restaurants in all price ranges and many possibilities to experience good food and great wines. 

Caprice
                                                  Caprise - one excelent lunch- or first course

The kitchen of Piedmont
A typical italian meal consists of a first course, two main courses and dessert.  After the meal you can enjoy a nice espresso and the local grappa.  Usualy you also get the posibility to choose from a great assortment of local cheese.

Truffle
October is the month for the truffle. This is high season for gourmets. The truffle festival in Alba starts in September/October and ends the first weekend in November.

 

 
Local restaurants

I Girasoli – family owned restaurant in our neighbour town San Marzano Oliveti.
Here you find a very special restaurant with traditional food from Piedmont. There is no menu here – you get only what they have this evening, but they can serve you up to 15 dishes. They are serving delicious small dishes presented with enthusiasm and by an always kind and attentive waiter.

Ristorante Bardon, A local restaurant not far from Cascina Collina worth a visit.  The wine list contains known producers from Piedmont

Due Lanterne is located in the centre of Nizza Monferrato. They are serving delicious food with wine at all price levels.
