Vezza
d'Alba.
Wine Tasting
Vezza d'Alba sits among the vineyard hills of the Roero, the wine district between Alba and Asti. The sandy soils here suit both Nebbiolo and Arneis, the white grape that has become a signature of the area. Cellars around the village open for tastings of both wines.
The village centre keeps a quiet, rural rhythm, with narrow lanes leading past old stone houses toward open views of vine rows and woodland. Nearby, the Roero Natural Reserve offers trails through the hills, popular for walking amid vineyards and woodland.
Autumn brings the grape harvest, when the hills turn gold and russet and the cellars are busiest, while spring shows the vineyards at their freshest green.
