Le Torri — Restaurant in Castiglione Falletto

On the village square of Castiglione Falletto, one of the eleven communes allowed to produce Barolo, Luca and Luisa have welcomed guests for twenty years in an elegant but family atmosphere. The restaurant overlooks the rolling UNESCO vineyards of the Langhe, with views of some of the most famous crus of the Barolo appellation. Traditional Piedmontese cooking at a high level: vitello tonnato with a subtle twist (basil sauce instead of the classic), ravioli del plin al fondo bruno, veal cheek braised in Nebbiolo, and traditional bonet to finish. Everything home-made, everything fresh. The absolute highlight is the wine cellar, the Crutin: an underground room carved into the rock, as local farmers once did to store wine and food. In it Luca and Luisa keep more than 1,800 labels, from the great names of the Langhe (Giacomo Conterno, Bartolo Mascarello, Vietti, Bruno Giacosa) to small producers of exceptional quality and fair price.
