To La Morra along vineyards and hazel plantations The name of the wine village of La Morra is derived from the word Mura, which means fence. The facades have been demolished over the centuries. La Morra is now an open community. Wall remains are still visible.

Cappella del Barolo – colorful chapel among the vineyards This was once a simple chapel made of brick, now it is an eye-catcher painted with bright colors among the green vines. The colorful chapel is the creation of Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett, who transformed the brick walls into brightly colored works of art at the request of the Ceretto family in 1999. Historical interpretation: The idea actually came about by chance, when the British artist David Tremlett was in the area for an exhibition at Barolo Castle. He met the Ceretto family, who wanted to have the chapel renovated, and thought it was a challenge to transform a chapel into a work of art. He designed the interior of the chapel himself and asked Sol LeWitt, one of the artists with whom he was good friends, to design the exterior. The story goes that they received no money in compensation, but a bottle of Barolo every week, until their death. The chapel was officially inaugurated in 1914 as the Cappella di Santa Maria delle Grazie, but this name now rings a bell among few Piedmontese. Everyone knows the chapel as the Cappella del Barolo, but note: on Google Maps you will find the chapel as the Cappella delle Brunate. Even more chapel art in Piedmont What few people outside Piedmont know is that David Tremlett created another work of art in Piedmont in 2016 – in the village of Coazzolo, between Alba and Asti. Here he painted the walls of the Chiesetta della Beata Maria Vergine del Carmine. Tremlett was a great lover of Italy. He once said: 'Italy is the homeland of painting. I paint walls but am a sculptor. In Rome, I looked at Michelangelo's and Raphael's works in awe. To learn something new, you have to let it surprise you and know how to observe.'

La Morra overlooking the Langhe 🖤

To La Morra along vineyards and hazel plantations The name of the wine village of La Morra is derived from the word Mura, which means enclosure, has broken down its facades over the centuries. La Morra is now an open community. Wall remnants are still visible. The medieval wine village is in Unesco area and is flooded every Sunday by pilgrims of viticulturists who are looking for the right grape and path of life. We leave like laymen through the backyard of our B&B past fields full of hazels to the epicenter of the wine festival. Like a hare zigzagging up the mountain path, past hazel plantation, to the village of Verduno. This runs and lubricates like chocolate on a sandwich. The view, mixed with the fragrant hazelnuts, is breathtaking and mouth-watering. The wondrous sweet kingdom of Nutella is not far away from here. The sweet Emperor Ferreo, clad in his golden jacket, beckons. The temptation is great… It's Sunday, the Lord's day, let's not fall into temptation and stay on the straight path. We endured the temptation well and out of gratitude we pass the field chapel of 'Madonna di Loreto'. With her blessing we conquer the last vertical meters and the remnants of the old city walls. On the belvedere - height 500 meters, you can enjoy the view over 'De Langhe', the typical hills of Piedmont that are covered with vineyards. Because the inner man is stilled, we follow in the footsteps of Julius Caesar (according to writings he knew this wine village) we look for virtues and pleasures. Together with the other vinologists, we reach our climax in the local Cantina and Osteria. In a ceremonial wine adventure we let the glasses tear, smell and slurp on new flavors. With a slightly intoxicated mind and a satisfied inner man, we descend back past many vineyards. With the divine grapes we literally go through a ripening process together. They on their way to a bright future and we in age. Tired, even a bit physically exhausted, we arrive satisfied at Casa Molly (B&B). We sip one last glass and our dusty clothes are good for the wash. We thank the lord who ordered the walls to be demolished. So now everyone can buy their favorite wine without limits. La Morra knows no boundaries. Go discover for yourself, experience and don't forget to share.

Limited parking space near the chapel. This site is not accessible by car on Sundays and public holidays. Vehicles must be parked at the bottom of the hill.
