Autumn in the Langhe, when the fog sits in the valleys and the Nebbiolo comes in. Small family cantinas rather than commercial estates, truffles in season, and the kind of lunch that starts at one and finishes when it finishes.
- Vertical tastings in family cellars in Barolo and Barbaresco
- White truffle lunch in Alba during the season
- A day in Barbaresco with a grower who bottles under 2,000 cases
- Base in a restored farmhouse in the hills
