How this place works
Many cantine are family kitchens. Book through Consorzio sites or the estate. Langhe roads are switchbacks. Taste Barbera at lunch so the Nebbiolo still has a chance at 4 p.m.
Best window: April–June and September–October. Alba's truffle weeks are crowded on purpose. Fog in November is the postcard and a driving hazard.
