The Wild Woman was characterized, in the peasant society of the Langhe, as the bearer of an ancient culture, with nature and its secrets, with wisdom interspersed with popular and superstitious religiosity. An ancient tale describes the Wild Women of the Langhe as “figures that represent the deepest, physical and instinctive roots of the feminine: the archetype of a free and wild, uncontaminated nature”. The concept of the Wild Woman was taken up and made famous by Romano Levi, artisan producer of signature grappa. For him, the Wild Women are visions, memories of the past, of when he walked to school and brushed past “beautiful and disheveled women, a little crazy, a little witches, a little fairies” on the street. All this and more in the Neive Mystery Tour.
Barolo and Barbaresco are undoubtedly the best Italian red wines. They are grown on the hills of the Langhe with very strict quality rules. They are austere wines that reflect the territory, the land, the hills and the character of the winemakers. A tasting in a small winery starting from the “minor” wines (Barbera and Dolcetto) and then moving on to the comparative tasting of Barbaresco and Barolo.
Visit to the city of Bra (City of the international cheese fair “FORMAGGIO BRA”) with tasting of Piedmont mountain cheeses, among which the spectacular Castlemagno mountain cheese stands out. Not only Castelmagno but also mountain tome, soft goat cheeses and much more.Bra never disappoints.
Truffle hunting is a true tradition in Langa, at sunset, following a professional truffle hunter (trifolao) with the help of his dog, we will go in search of a prized white truffle from Alba in October/November or a black spring truffle in April/May.Get ready for a unique experience, the trifolao will accompany you in the woods and the truffle dog will start searching near the trees, underground and when he finds a small truffle he will start digging, your skill will be to stop the dog before he reaches the truffle.
If we are lucky at the end of the hunt we will have a truffle-based dinner.
Dining in the great Italian “Trattoria”
