Roero is our land, with hills on the left side of Tanaro river, facing to south with Langhe while to north they sweetly degrade towards the Turinese country.
This land, already populated in the Neolithic age, introduces many rests of roman age, especially in the city of Alba, while the castles and the towers are a sign of Middle Ages.
And then, the baroque churches, palaces and the many votive chapels testify an ancient and lively past.

THE ROUTES OF NATURE

For those that love the nature and discover the landscape of the Roero by foot, bicycle or by
horse, you will find the wild beauty of the Roero Rocks, the majestic forests of chestnut
trees, and Roero vineyards.
The Rocks are a erosion phenomenon that
crosses all the Roero, from Bra to Montà d'Alba, for 12 km, enclosing fossils, archaeological finds and very rare fauna.

THE ROUTES OF WINE

The hills are shaped like a mosaic, from a lot of small vineyards turned to the sun and cultivated with passion and pride,
producing prestigious grapes for excellent wines, like Nebbiolo,Roero, Barbera, Bonarda, Brachetto, Arneis and Favorita.
The Regional Wine cellar of the Roero, in Canale, is the reference point for information and promotion of Roero's wine.
