Torre di Barbaresco

Langhe, Roero & Monferrato


Take the lift to the rooftop of this restored medieval tower for a sublime view over wine country. You'll see the meandering Tanaro River, various other settlements (Alba, Neive, Treiso, Asti) and the vineyard-covered rolling hills of Langhe and Roero stretching off to the horizon.

You can also enjoy wine tastings on the breezy terrace here, with four different wines available (€5 per glass).
