Castiglione Falletto takes its name from the Fallettis family, an important noble family that ruled over good part of the Langhe for many centuries, leaving a deep trace in the local architecture.
The charming old town is built on a hilltop, in the middle of which stands an impressive medieval castle, surrounded by breathtaking views of vineyards where some incredible Barolo wine is produced.
What to see
Take a tour around the narrow and winding streets of the old town, enjoy its genuine traditional vibe and walk by the castle’s walls to enjoy the stunning beauty of the surrounding landscape.
And while you are in the heart of Langhe, there is no better way to dive into local culture than going for a private wine tasting tour of the area.
You’ll learn more about the local way of life and enjoy the bouquet and flavours of the great red wine of Piedmont, the famous Barolo and Barbaresco, while talking to local producers and walking.
Wine and truffle
Castiglione Falletto is one of the largest of the 11 municipalities that are entitled to the production of Barolo wine, and as such it is home to some of the top wine producers of Piedmont.
So don’t miss the opportunity to get a closer look to the traditional methods of production of this masterpiece.
Whenever visiting a town in the surroundings of Alba, another great idea is to go for a truffle hunting tour.
Get out in the woods, listen to the truffle hunter’s explanations and let the truffle dog sniff the way to this hidden treasure of the local gastronomy.
A unique opportunity to understand the magic of truffles.
