Itinerary
Barbaresco is one of the picturesque towns we will pass through on our wine tour.
Here in the beautiful town of La Morra we will stop to have lunch at a traditional Piemontese restaurant. Being the highest town on the Barolo wine making region it is the perfect place to stop and enjoy lunch while taking in the scenic view.
Now we will move from the Langhe to the Monferrato wine making region. Situated in the hills of Castagnole delle Lanze is my organic winery. Here we will explore my vineyards and antique cellar. Here we learn about our traditional methods of wine making followed by a wine tasting.

We had a wonderful day with Resti. We was 5 adults and a boy 1,5 years old. We tastet 10 different glasses of wine on two different winefarms. Barolo, De Langhe, Barbera , Nebbiolo and local white wines. We had 2 course meal in a local Osteria. We had the car and guide alone and that was excellent. They also come an fetch us at the hotel outside Asti. Everything was fantastic.
We had a fantastic time with Marco, who showed us the various wine regions and then took us on a tour of his own cantina, Cascina Galarin, where we also tasted his lovely wines. After lunch at a local Osteria we went to a second cantina, Azienda Agricola La Contea and tasted more lovely wines. It was a very friendly, relaxed and informative day and we would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to know more about the region, see some breathtaking views and taste great wine.
Marco picked myself, husband, and Daughter up along with another couple in Turin for a wonderful day exploring the countryside and their many wines. We enjoyed tastings at 3 different wine makers (farmers) which was our first time experiencing this region of NE Italy including the regions of Nieve, Novello, Alba & Asti. It is apparent each of these family owned wineries are operated by folks who are passionate about their craft. The included lunch at Osteria L’Orca Giuliva in Castegnole delle Lanze was delicious in an authentic setting. We all 3 loved our day & and would not hesitate to recommend Marco’s experience to our friends and family. Thanks Marco for sharing the depth of your knowledge with us!
