I was born in Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, and here I live since ever. Spent my childhood hiking and biking these hills, helping the family in the weekends in my grandparents's Estate, picking hazelnuts and harvesting grapes. And Sunday lunch was a family thing, preparing tajarin home made pasta or tasting my wonderful Grandmother's 'minestrone' (vegetable soup) in winter, with a (couple of) spoon of Dolcetto in it. That's what I call 'imprinting! The passion for this unexpected area grew up in years: so many different flavours in different seasons, a tremendous amount of roman and medieval remains, a surprising local 'cuisine' tradition, a scenographic hilly landscape (the 50th Italian UNESCO heritage site), not to mention an all-over-the-world well known wine tradition. And. . . Who loves truffles? I became certified Piedmont tour guide in 2010, certified hiking guide in 2017 and certified bike guide in 2019 (Tic-tae-toe!) so I finally turned my knowledge and passion in a perfect job. Here I am! And my goal is always the same: share with the travellers 'local spots', discovering familiar farmers and cellars! Come to enjoy South Piedmont. Simply a wonderful. Simply unexpected. Local from more then 50yrs ; )) Certified tour guide, hiking guide, biking guide 2yrs Degree in wine tasting (ONAV) I love do this! None
