Serralunga d'Alba Holidays

Serralunga d’Alba sits in the foodie-friendly triangle between Alba, Bra and Barolo. You can spy the village from miles off, too – just look for a hill crowned by a castle that’s straight out of a fairy-tale.
Rings of citrus-hued houses uncoil from the castle. Many places double as fine dining restaurants, wine cellars and agriturismi – and you only have to peek over the countryside to see why.
The hilly Langhe region rolls out below Serralunga d’Alba, offering up wall-to-wall vineyards. Barolo is the grape of choice around here. The hyper-local Serralunga variety isn’t as fruity as most Piedmont reds, instead showcasing dark, smoky flavours.
The rest of Langhe is your oyster from Serralunga d’Alba. A bus runs a few times a day, putting the cobbled streets of Monforte d’Alba and the Roman city of Alba in easy reach. Alternatively, hop in a car – you’ll reach both in less than 30 minutes.

Piedmont Specialities The region of Piedmont is well known for its variety of antipasti, perfect for those that like to sample lots of different dishes. Some of the most popular choices on offer include metre-long breadsticks called grissini, perfect for dipping in fonduta - a type of fondue made with egg yolk, Fontina cheese, milk and butter-and on occasions shaved white truffle.

Piedmont Specialities Pasta often comes in the form of tajarin, a narrow, noddle type creation that is commonly served in a beef broth with grated truffle and Grana Padano cheese; or meat and herb filled dumplings similar to ravioli, tossed in butter and parmesan.

Piedmont Specialities With the highest number of classified wines in Italy, visitors can be assured of quality in Piedmont. Lovers of red wine can indulge in varieties such as Barolo and Gattinara, both produced from the Nebbiolo grape. The region is also the birthplace of the well-known and widely exported Asti.
