La Vite Turchese

Top choice in Langhe, Roero & Monferrato


This friendly enoteca is run by passionate young staff who will talk you through their good stock of local wines – from a cheap and cheerful Nebbiolo or Arneis to a 2003 Casa Nere Barolo at €55 a glass – and they also branch out to some other Italian regions. Daily cheese and salumi (cured meats/charcuterie) choices are sourced with love and it's a local favourite for aperitivo.

Wine flights are an excellent way to learn about the great wines produced around the region, and range from €15 to sample four Barberas, to €25 for four remarkable DOCG Barolos. For something lighter, you can also discover some great white wines (from €9 for three tastings).
