A visit and tasting at a family-run business that operates perfectly. Four tastings were offered, with impeccable explanations for each bottle. The boy (Virma's nephew) may be very young, but he's truly smart and knowledgeable. The only small drawback: it would have been nice to have had Ms. Virna with us until the end of the tasting and to have received a few more "gems" from her about the business and its journey.

3rd generation of wine makers. We had a tour and 5 wine tastings all were fantastic. The owner speaks very good English and so we got to learn a lot about the different types of Barolo wine.
