Vinoteca Centro Storico — Wine bar in Serralunga d'Alba

Tucked beneath the walls of the 14th-century castle of Serralunga d'Alba, one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Piedmont, Alessio Cighetti opened his Vinoteca Centro Storico. A small, cosy wine restaurant and enoteca in one: wine bottles and prosciutto legs on the walls, a handwritten menu at the entrance, classic rock in the background. Star Wine List Red Star. The absolute star: the best Champagne list in the whole Langhe. Besides Barolo and Barbaresco from local top producers, Alessio keeps an impressive selection of Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and Mosel, rare bottles you won't find anywhere else in the region. Anyone who comes in just for a glass is treated like royalty. Fair prices for the quality. Three antipasti, three primi, three secondi, changing daily: tajarin, plin, Fassone beef, classic Piedmontese desserts.
