North of Châteauneuf du-Pape, I the rest of the Rhone skipped over - St-Joseph! Hermitage! Côte-Rôtie AOC! Oh well! -then stopped for croissants and coffee in a bar overlooking the River Isère in Grenoble. Geschwungene from there the road in the Alps, then down to Italy and to Piedmont.
I have always a fantasy move to Piedmont, so it was very easy to find that the century had Castle at the top of the Hill in Castiglione Falletto, in addition to the winery Vietti, currently for sale, was the Vietti Luca Currado. And only $2,500,000 for an entire Castle! "But you have to make," Currado added. This was a good point. for example you could scratch on the exterior walls, caused by people (like me) to repair, which drive on how far their side mirrors stick out regardless.
Since the 1600s grew Currado of the family of grape Nebbiolo in Piedmont; Today, they have all nine municipalities in the region of Barolo. They produce some of the most celebrated wines of the region, such as the 2007 Vietti Barolo Rocche, which I tasted polished dinner in Alba, that night, a with Currado, lush red with tea leaf and dark Cherry notes. Currado mentioned that as Alba was a Roman city, "the fog of grape" the Emperor said (Nebbia is therefore Nebbiolo Italian for fog;). "" In Tuscany, they ' under the Tuscan Sun, "have", he said with a shrug. 'In Piedmont we have"under Piedmontese fog.' "
"I by the castle is to sell out and away am," I said.
"You know in the old days, the owner of the castle had the right that each spend first night with the bride in the village, married", Currado said thoughtfully. "I don't think that this is the case anymore, but."
