Truffles, cheese, wine: La Strada del Barolo
Piedmont, the land at the foot of the mountains, is a paradise for connoisseurs. It is no coincidence that this is where the Slow Food movement started. The region's wines in particular are world-renowned - above all Barolo.
The king of wines, made from the Nebbiolo grape, grows south of Alba in eleven municipalities that have joined to form the Barolo Wine Route. Sixty-five of its winegrowers open their doors to travellers and invite them to drink. Other delicacies of the region can also be tasted, such as the blue cheese Castelmagno or the famous truffles of Alba.
