Wineries in and around La Morra: which ones to visit?

In Piedmont – the kingdom of Italy’s finest wines – in the Langhe region, we can find a small town of nearly 3,000 residents in the province of Cuneo: La Morra. There are several wineries in and around La Morra to discover and visit. In this article we will suggest the best ways to spend a day of wine excellence, to be experienced first-hand.

The land on which this small area stands is among the most important in Italy for vine cultivation and wine production. Despite its small size, La Morra is a well-known and popular place for tourists, precisely because of the 70 or so producers in the surrounding area who grow and bottle quality wine labels.

In this area, it is cultivated mainly Nebbiolo, the native Piedmontese grape variety from which we can obtain Barolo, the precious red wine that enriches Italian tables with its unmistakable taste.

Castiglione Falletto is about 6 kilometers from La Morra: by car it can be reached in less than 10 minutes, while if you are an eager walker, you can also explore the area by foot across an evocative one-and-a-half hour route through the vineyards and hills.
