Italian Red wine... Barolo and Amarone are two great tipicals Red Italian wine. For me they are the two best Italian wine. Barolo cames from a region called Piemonte; in this region the tipical landscape is called "langhe". The "langhe" are typical hills covered by wine plants; the panorama is very suggestive and due to a special climate and land. Due this special factor the area particularry indicated for grat taste wine. We can call Piemonte the "land of langhe" in Italian language is "terra delle langhe". In the Langhe area there are some little old burgs called Barolo,Nebbiolo,Alba and other less famous but very wonderfull places. The Barolo wine can come only from the Barolo area in the Langhe using the Nebbiolo grapes; other great wine are made with the nebbiolo grapes for example the Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Roero, and the famous Barolo of course! Specially In Alba town but also in all the langhe area you can buy or find the truffle (tartufo); very expensive but with an exclusive taste. In Alba every years there is the "truffle festival" and peoples cames from many area of the world to take the best truffle, and also Barolo, Nebbiolo or other great wine. Every year me, my girlfriend and my friends organize some weekend in Alba. Usually at the end of August because there is the Barolo town festival and in November for the truffle festival. During the "Barolo town festival" you can walk on the little way of Barolo; taste or buy Barolo wine from the producer directly; and also eat typical great taste food like cheese ham mushroom and other. In Barolo town you can visit also the Barolo museum and taste (yet) great wine inside the museum. The wine called Amarone cames from another region of Italy the Veneto. In the Veneto the " famous" city is Verona. From a particular zone called Valpolicella born the wine Amarone; you can find it in many place in Verona it cost a lot but you must try it. Amarone wine is my favorite. In Verona there is also the Arena; very nice place, where you can see the Opera or other events; I have saw "La traviata"; in a very nice atmosphere. In other Italian region called Toscana the famous wine is called Chianti, the best one is Chianti Classico, different from the Chianti. Sometime I visit a wonderfull farm in the Chianti land usually when there is the MotoGp race in Mugello circuit. Mugello circuit is very close from the Chianti land, so in a wonderfull weekend I can see the MotoGp and also relax in a nice Chianti farm.
