Al Nido Della Cinciallegra

Langhe, Roero & Monferrato


Join Neive's winemakers and restaurateurs here for a wine and a generous aperitivo plate; if the weather's warm, you'll all boisterously spill out onto the pretty square. This is the Langhe at its unpretentious best: on one side of the shop buy a brilliant Barolo; on the other, batteries or a ballpoint pen (it's both enoteca and village corner shop).
