The grapes have been harvested. The truffle dogs are back at work. And Piedmont is just getting started.
As summer gives way to autumn, the rolling vineyard hills of the Langhe turn glorious shades of gold, amber, and crimson. The grape harvest draws to a close, the region’s celebrated white truffles begin making their annual appearance, and local restaurants and trattorias roll out seasonal menus featuring some of Italy’s most extraordinary ingredients.
It’s a marvelous time to explore Piedmont. Spend a morning hunting for prized Alba white truffles with a local trifolao and his trained dogs. Wander the cobblestone streets of medieval villages. Visit the w**eries responsible for the legendary Barolo and Barbaresco w**es, or settle in for a leisurely lunch featuring fresh tajarin pasta, porcini mushrooms, and a bottle of something exceptional.
And after a day exploring all the region has to offer, return to Villa Bracchi, where the comforts of a beautifully restored Italian country home await amid the vineyard-covered hills of the Alta Langa.
Autumn in Piedmont is something to behold. Why not make it part of your travel plans?
