Tour Testimonials
What They’re Saying
"I’m in the wine industry (U.S.) but I still learned a lot from Alessio! At my request, he took me to a couple very small, family-owned wineries in Barolo and one in Barbaresco. It was a memorable experience to have the family owners share their stories and wine us personally. Alessio speaks English very well and communicated often before the trip to ensure he set up just the right experience for me. Since he is a winemaker in Barolo he offers some unique and valuable insights. Highly recommend!!"
"This experience goes well beyond winery visits. Alessio made sure we truly understood the region during our half day tour. It wasn't just about going to one winery in La Morra and one in Serralunga (both excellent with welcoming, knowledgeable guides). By taking the time to examine the topography from each town viewing the other, we were better able to understand the impact of terroir on the wines. At one winery, we were able to look at the specific vineyards during the tasting and directly connect how different exposures and elevations impacted the wines. At the other, we could see the soil composition through plexiglass when descending to the winery from the tasting room. If you have any interest in wines from this area, please do not miss this experience."

I have been collecting wine for a few years now and have just begun to learn about Barolo and Barbaresco. So, for our first trip to the area, my wife and I wanted to rely on an expert to help us learn more about the region. We are pleased to say that Alessio exceeded all our expectations! As a winemaker himself, Alessio is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the important vineyards of the region, as well as the vinification processes. What was especially fun, was that most producers had a copy of the MGA book (which outlines all the vineyards in Barolo and Barbaresco, there is one book for each) and Alessio would pull this out and we could dive deep into the vineyards, and the producers who made wine from each vineyard.
I think the magic of the trip however was the producers Alessio picked. We were lucky enough to spend three days with Alessio, one in Roero, one in Barbaresco, and one in Barolo. All the producers that we visited had very interesting and wonderful wines and also took a great deal of time to educate us on the history of the estates, the vinification process, and especially the developments they are working on. From a Nebbiolo completely vinified in Amphora, to a solar-powered humidity control cellar system, to a rainwater collection system, these producers are all doing interesting and amazing things in their operation. Finally, at all but one estate we were able to meet and interact with the owners of the estate, which was wonderful. My wife and I firmly believe that our excellent experiences at the wineries are due to the relationships Alessio has with the vintners.
In closing, Alessio is one of the most professional, and knowledgeable people I have been able to tour with. We will definitely come back and tour with him again!
