Barolo Village and Vineyards
Highlight • Settlement
We park our steel car on the edge of the plateau. We get to know the lively center at a walking pace. In almost every street you will find one or more wine bars that invite you to taste before purchasing. The temptation is great, cups are filled and ask to be sipped or slurped. We wisely let the third chalice pass, for we have yet to march further.
Sober, but slaloming, we wander through the streets and visit the Castello Falletti for tea. The castle, which was once built as a defensive fortress, is a landmark for many kilometers in the Langhe landscape.
The foundations from the 10th century keep our feet firmly on the ground. The strategic location of the converted 13th century castle still offers beautiful views over the surrounding hills and vineyards. The castle is now one of the 'best wine museums' in Italy. The museum is located over about five floors and focuses on the history and current techniques of viticulture in the area.
Our visit to Barolo ultimately ends where it began, with one difference: fill up that third chalice. Another crate richer and a few euros poorer, we leave the cute village with its cobbled pebbles and medieval houses, on to the next discovery.
