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

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"
