Le Piemontesine — Restaurant in Igliano

In the hamlet of San Luigi near Igliano, in the Alta Langa, Charlotte Launay and Jérôme Migotto run this restaurant with rooms. The French-Italian couple previously worked in Paris, where Migotto cooked in restaurants including some with three Michelin stars; their great-grandparents lived in Igliano. He cooks with French technique and local produce, partly from their own vegetable and herb garden, and the menu changes with the seasons.

The wine list is not large but well chosen, with many wines from the Langhe and the rest of Piedmont, a few biodynamic names and French wines. On a clear day you can see as far as the Alps, and you can stay the night too. Recommended for anyone on a wine trip through Piedmont looking for the quiet of the Alta Langa.
