Welcome, Friends and family our goal with this blog is to help you keep tabs on what we've been up to after moving to Italy in 2007, by sharing some of our experiences with you. We have many of our old favorite places yet we always seem to stumble into something really cool just when we think we've seen everything. Our goal is to share these new experiences, along with an occasional wine or travel tip.
Sincerely,
Robert and Leslie Alexander

A very cool tasting room !

15/10/10 Wine

Over looking the last of Nebbiolo being harvested in Cru Montersino, just south of Trieso,
near the southern end of the Barbaresco region

Taking a couple of visitors to a tasting at CA’ ROME we think we’ve now seen the coolest
tasting room in all of Langhe. The wines are great too which we’ve known for a long time
but had never seen the cellar, only driven by about 200 times over the years. We had no
idea what we were missing.

Nebbiolo starting the long journy to become Barbaresco. This Nebbiolo is from Cru Cotta
from the Neive sub zone of the Barbaresco region and is under going one of it’s 4 to 5
daily pump overs.
