Friday 4^th, 11^th and 18^th September 2015: the Barolo Crus will be revealed in three special events with the tasting presented from the top of the castle of Serralunga d’Alba. 

The Castle of Serralunga d’Alba celebrates the grape harvest with a night of unprecedented visits which will allow participants to discover the rooms of the castle, the surrounding area and its wines in an original and engaging way.

There will be two events each evening, at 7pm and 8pm, in a summery atmosphere, for a special tasting of Barolo in the presence of its places of origin, for right here in Serralunga, the King of wines finds particularly suitable fields and some of the best and most historic Crus of the entire production area, with the castle having a strong bond with the surrounding territory, itself an expression of extraordinary wines.

All this, besides the usual opening hours, in the company of a tour guide and expert in winemaking who will tell the audience anecdotes and curiosities about the wine to taste, offered by the producers of the Bottega del Vino Serralunga.

THE VISIT

The visit will start from the garden, and then continue to the wall-walk behind the castle battlements on the highest floor, initially protected by merlons, still visible today, which were then covered by a roof. At the end of the visit, with the sun still high on the horizon, it will be possible to admire the entire territory of Bassa Langa, Low Langa, with a 360° view, and spot the Barolo production areas as well as the landscape marked by regular and orderly vineyards.

The guide will enchant visitors by telling anecdotes and trivia about the castle’s history and its close relationship with local farming activities, from the Middle Ages to Luigi Einaudi, a great wine lover who donated the castle to the state, who it still belongs to, now entrusted to the care of Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici del Piemonte, regional board for the protection of architectural heritage and the landscape of Piedmont.

The guided tour will end at the top floor, where it will be possible to “read the landscape” together with the guide who will also describe the two wines served in stem-glasses and from producer members of Bottega del Vino di Serralunga d’Alba.

The event is promoted by Barolo & Castles Foundation and Comitato Castelli DOC Langhe e Roero, in accordance with Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici.
