What to see
Barbaresco is a small town perched on a hill, where life is centered around winemaking.
Take a walk around its narrow cobblestone streets and enjoy the genuine vibe and the stunning beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Here the must-see tourist attraction is the 36-meter high watchtower, erected on a sandstone base and made entirely of red bricks; it’s the only remain of the ancient fortress previously standing in this spot and a witness to the defensive role Barbaresco played during medieval times.
Wine and truffle
