Grinzane Cavour

From the hills to the cellars, the legacy of Cavour

Grinzane Cavour: history and wine

Grinzane Cavour is a captivating corner of the Langhe. This village seems to emerge from the heart of the earth, where past and present intertwine in an eternal embrace.

Perched on a hill overlooking the surrounding valleys, its castle tells the story of centuries of transformation and hard work.

Order of the Knights of the Truffle and Wines of Alba

In the evocative Hall of Masks at Grinzane Cavour Castle, you can discover the Enoteca Regionale Piemontese Cavour and the Order of the Knights of the Truffle and Wines of Alba, which Luciano De Giacomi had the vision to create. Experience the excitement of the cultural and enthronement-related scenes, which culminate in the final toast: "Look at the warmth of the sun that turns into wine dripping from the vine!"

It is no coincidence that, since 2014, these lands have been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a tribute to beauty, but also to the skilful work of man.

It was on these very hills that the first bottle of Barolo was produced in 1844, thanks to the foresight of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, who launched a veritable wine renaissance here thanks to his visionary spirit.

The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and still bears traces of that period. A visit will immerse you in the history of this small fiefdom, which bears the legacy of a man who changed Italian history and the way we drink.

PePÈ's Belvedere

There is a special place in Grinzane Cavour: PePÉ's Belvedere, which is dedicated to the memory of Giuseppe Sebaste. The panoramic terrace is home to "La Nocciola" (the hazelnut), a contemporary sculpture by Samuel di Blasi celebrating one of the area's most prized products. Whether you are a nature lover or simply adore the famous round, gentle hazelnut, this is a place you absolutely must visit!
