Treiso (Italy) is the perfect starting point for a walk into the countryside to explore the natural characteristics of the Langhe territory and the geological formations called “rocche”, wide gorges created by the erosion of water.
It is one of the four municipalities where Barbaresco DOCG is produced and local wines have a reputation of being gentler in body and lighter in color, due to the different exposure of its hills.
What to see
The small town is made of colorful old houses scattered around a central square with a red-brick baroque church in the middle. In the same square you can find a well-stocked wine shop and the famous Michelin-starred restaurant “Ciau di Tornavento.”
Another reason to visit are the “rocche,” a geological formation typical of South Piedmont, of which the Langhe are part.
They consist of huge tuff gorges with tall vertical walls on the sides, created by millennia of water erosion and revealing ancient marls of soil dating back to the Miocene age
