Visiting Fratelli Aimasso

The sun setting over the Langhe hills, with Diano d’Alba as the back drop.  Pretty hard to beat.  Thanks to our friend Luca Aimasso for a great tasting and having the run of his lovely property.

Fireworks courtesy of Luca Aimasso’s Barbera post harvest, near Diano D’Alba.  You have to see them in person to fully appreciate, but here’s a good way to tide yourself over until you can visit Piemonte yourself.

Lange Nebbia: Fog Rolling In Over The Vines At Night

Long exposure shot from Rodello looking toward Alba and Diano d’Alba at night.  The fog comes in thick, voluminous, and creeps like a silent ghost toward the valley below the Langhe hills.  Piemonte is great during the day, but at night it has a quiet, romantic magic going on.

You can see why the region is known for “nebbiolo”, from the word for fog.

Piemonte In Autumn

The color palates are only matched the amazing flavors on the dinner table, and the fireworks that happen when your truffle pastas and locally sourced artisanal meats and cheeses are mated with local Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Barolos.

Piemonte at Night!

Diano d’Alba from Rodello.  Alba off in the distance.  No better place to be to explore the best of Italy’s food, wine, and most of all hospitality.   Join us here in 2016!
