OSTERIA I REBBI
May/31/14 foodie
Opened in Aug. of 2013 after an extensive remodelling of an old farm Osteria I Rebbi located just 2 KM past the town of Monforte on the road to Dogliani
It's a bold move for owners Elena (24) and Valerio (30) to open the 22nd restaurant in a town of 2,000 but we think they have "hit the nail on the head"
For a young restaurant they have a solid selection of well priced wines
Operitivo snacks of fritata and sliced meats
Home made pici pasta with shrimp
Halibut over greens
gnocchi with asparagus and ricotta
Daily specials are listed on a chalkboard in the dining room
The before shot
And the after shot
Growing Fast
May/09/14 Wine
Here in G.D. Vajra's Serralunga vineyard their nebbiolo is growing fast, keeping the growers busy training the vines through the training wires
Over in La Morra no growers can be seen but they are sure to be close to their lunch packs
Also in La Morra netting for protection from hail damage is put back into place after working the vines
Travel Langhe is is also back in the vineyard at our favourite place for tastings " The Ciabot"
