Guide #31901
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

Marcello was an amazing guide and we could not have had a better experience. The region is Marcello's home and as you might expect this is a man who loves his home. His knowledge of the region - the culture, food and of course the wines - is unmatched. We had asked Marcello to take us to three true "gems" on our tour - and he did not disappoint - including an...

Marcello was the absolute best. His knowledge of the area made him the perfect guide for our tour. We went to 4 different wineries in a day and even though we had designed our own day at several wineries it was Marcellos suggestion to end our day that made it the most memorable experience ever. In addition to that he's a great driver, great person and a pleasure to be...
