Castellinaldo d’Alba stands there on the hill, with its castle and traditional houses. The road winds around, reaching up to almost touch the sky on the horizon. Twisting and turning past the houses it arrives at the castle, which once belonged to the Malabailas and today to the Ripa di Meana family, and near the top it encounters a brick house with a classic clay-tiled roof.

Home to the Cravanzola winery, here in the large courtyard the doors open up to reveal the settings where the grapes become wine. This is where the Roero meets the “land in between”, which accompanies the Tanaro river from the heights of the hills on its rapid course towards the sea.

Like the Cravanzola family, the village of Castellinaldo d’Alba has always been associated with the growing of vines and the making of wines.

The Cravanzola family opens the doors of their cellar to wine lovers and connoisseurs for a guided tasting of the best wines of Roero and Langhe.
