I could elaborate on the outstanding cheese and wine location we visited, but I’ll keep this focused on the tour.

“We planned a full-day tour that included visits to two Barolo producers, with lunch at a local eatery. Our guide, Alessio, was charming, fluent in English, and very knowledgeable. The morning started at Silvano Bolmida, a small family winery, where Francesco, the owner's son, shared insights about their wines and operations. We had an engaging discussion while tasting four wines, which gave us valuable context about the Barolo region. We enjoyed a superb lunch in La Morra before heading to our last stop, Paolo Scavino. There, we toured the production facilities and cellars, tasting six different wines, including their excellent Dolcetto d’Alba and the flagship Barolo ‘Bric del Fiasc’. Alessio, being a producer himself, had personal connections with both winemakers and brought great expertise about the region's wine culture and history. I highly recommend him.”— archiegham

The selections he made exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to planning our next trip with him.”— RLPAR
