From enchanted rocks to World Heritage vineyards.
Walking along the pathway, participants will have the chance to know two southern Piedmont lands. Lands which are near one another, both born from the sea, indeed thoroughly different: Langhe, on the Tanaro river right side " outstanding for their compactness, these lands are made of ancient marl, the natural cradle of well-structured wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco; and Roero, on the Tanaro river left side - a land more recent geologically, made of red sand and chalk.
territory rich in high value products such as fruits, vegetables and grapes, from which generations of producers have made - and make - unrivalled wines such Arneis and Roero, characterized by lingering taste and distinctively delicate and fruity bouquet, definitely to be unveiled.
Last but not least, High Langa, the most natural and less anthropic, offering visitors fascinating landscapes and unique food products.
Day 1, the trail leads visitors into the heart of Roero Rocks " a visually imposing geological formation standing out among ancient forests dotted with century-aged chestnut trees among which the over 400-year old Castagna Granda (the Grand Chestnut tree) shows off.
