If you're anywhere near Barolo town in Italy and love great wine, La Vite Turchese is an absolute…read moremust. This was hands-down one of the most memorable wine tastings we've had in Piedmont. The Barolo tasting was thoughtfully curated, showcasing the depth, elegance, and diversity of the region--from structured, age-worthy expressions to more approachable, aromatic pours. Each wine was introduced with genuine passion and deep knowledge, not in a rehearsed way, but with the warmth of people who truly live and breathe Barolo. We learned so much about terroir, producers, and vintages without it ever feeling overwhelming. The charcuterie board was the perfect companion: beautifully presented, featuring high-quality local cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments that elevated each glass. Nothing felt generic--every bite was intentional and paired beautifully with the wines. What really sets La Vite Turchese apart is the atmosphere. Tucked right in the heart of Barolo town, it feels intimate, relaxed, and authentic--exactly what you hope for in a wine experience here. The service was welcoming, attentive, and never rushed, making us feel like guests rather than customers.

We stmbled into this place while in Barola wine tasting on vacation. Wow, great experience…read more Stefano listened to what type of experiance we were looking for, and pulled 4 wines that lead us on a journey to explain and discover the region. He had a great selection of regional wines, with prices that were very non-tourist. He insisted his wife select a cheese to compliment the wine, great decision. His shop hasn't been there very long, but what a contrast to the mass tourist stuff we got at the wine museum. Go find this place. If you are into wine, it is worth it.

They had a good selection but you do have to use google photo/translate to see the menu in English. The customer service was amazing and they tried to help anyway they could!

Try a glass of the daily "Mystery wine" to sample something new and interesting, or pick out a bottle and they'll open it for you. Really remarkable salumi, with probably the best prosciutto I've ever tasted. Also, award-winning ham and mortadella, served with great plum-Barolo jam and gardinera pickles...and warm crunchy-chewy focaccia. There are lovely-looking main dishes, but you can easily make a meal for two out of one of the tagliere (boards) and a side or two. The polpetti meatballs are a good choice, with one of the better tomato sauces I've ever had. The Buffalo mozzarella with arugula and cherry tomatoes is another fresh and delicious option. A salad or side of veg is nice, too, if you have the room for it. The service is professional, friendly and snappy. The place gets loud when it gets busier as the night goes on, so come early if you are looking for a quieter experience. This is your new favorite hang-out in Torino!

Reservations were simple to make online. €25 per person for a classic tasting plus full tour of production. The property is nestled atop Castiglione Falletto in the Piazza Vittorio Veneto. Absolutely stunning views from the courtyard peering directly at Diano d'Alba across the valley. The afternoon sun provides the best lighting for pictures you'll treasure forever. They offer four tours daily. I recommend later afternoon just for the lightning. Our tour guide Lucia was an absolute professional with extensive knowledge of history, geography, and Vietti family background. We lucked out as others in the group canceled and we ended up with a private tour. After an hour tour of the property, tasting begins. There are many varieties in the lineup and they will tailor to your pallet. My wife likes whites and I prefer bold reds and we both left happy. There is not the option of buying and shipping wine from here. For that, rely on one of the well established community Enotecas. This was my first onsite tour of a winery in Piedmont and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Highly recommend.

First Review....woot woot!…read more If I could give this place more stars I would. Luca Curado is one of the living legend winemakers of our time. His family has been making wine in this region for generations. His wines are some of my favorite, not only to drink but to sell. He makes many single vineyard wines and blends from Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. HIs father was the man who brought Arneis back to life after almost being extinct. The view from his winery look directly down on the scarrone vineyard planted by his father. Behind it lies a breathtaking view of Barolo. All the women in our group were fawning over Luca as he exudes the typical charm only possessed by older Italian men. He is as gracious as a lamb and passionate beyond belief. Touring his facility was a dream come true. These wines are some of the finest IN THE WORLD. One should do everything in their power to put as much of this wine into their body before one dies!
