This 14th century castle was a great find - one of the oldest still in good condition which was never converted to a private residence during the Renaissance period, thus, it is mostly in it's original form

Biking in Langhe wine country
Julia and I put our bikes in the Alfa and headed south about 50 min to Langhe - One of Italy's most important wine regions. The hilly area, beautiful views and low traffic roads make it perfect for a day of biking.

The small village at the base of the castle was considered "medieval urbanism".
