Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Barbaresco and Barolo?
Both are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes in neighboring Piedmont appellations, but Barbaresco requires less aging (minimum 2 years, including 9 months in oak) than Barolo (minimum 3 years, including 18 months in oak) — making it generally softer and more approachable sooner, while still built to age for decades.
Is this tour really private?
Yes — the vehicle, driver and guide are reserved exclusively for your party for the entire day. You won't be grouped with other travelers at any winery.
What should we wear for the winery visits?
Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are best for walking through vineyards and cellars, plus a light layer — mornings in the Langhe hills can be cool even when afternoons are warm.
