Locanda in Cannubi — Restaurant in Barolo

In the middle of Cannubi, one of the best-known crus of Barolo, stands an eighteenth-century farmhouse with a terrace overlooking the vineyards. The restaurant belongs to Tenuta Carretta, and the wine list shows it: around 825 wines, with Carretta's full range and three full pages of Barolo Cannubi from different producers. So you can taste the cru you are sitting in side by side. Sommelier Samuele Bussini also pours a wide choice by the glass, from Riesling to Nebbiolo.

The cooking is Piedmontese with a modern touch: think tajarin made with forty egg yolks and Langhe ragù, plin and a tasting of Piedmontese starters. In good weather you sit on the terrace with a view over the hills. Recommended for lunch during a wine trip through Piedmont, between two winery visits in Barolo.
