The Langhe, its hilly landscapes, its world-renowned vineyards. A magical territory to be experienced by bicycle, immersed in the scents and flavors of a land of long peasant traditions, intimate and romantic.
Along the “Road of Barolo” and the great wines of the Bassa Langa, this route is inspired by movement, passing through quaint villages (Alba, Monforte, Barolo) that pop up between rows of vineyards and country lanes.
