“Buone Visioni” retursn with the third edition of “Il Castello Errante”

Posted on: July 20th, 2015 by Mario Ferrero

After two years of journeys, always with the company of a large and involved audience, Buone Visioni is proud to present the third edition of a film exhibition entitled Il Castello Errante, that will take place from June, 14, to July, 19, 2015, in the courtyard of the Roddi Castle. Six evenings to tell stories that go against the flow, to tell six lives that are a little out of focus, people who live next door and hide entire universes. And we will discover together that, sometimes, the world around us is a bit too small place. There will be something to eat and drink and, above all, there will be our movies.

BuoneVisioni

Organized by the Association of the National Museum of Cinema of Turin, and with the sponsorship of the Municipality of Roddi and the Barolo & Castles Foundation, Buone Visioni offers art films under the stars of Langhe, movies that we loved for their bold spirit and which may go unnoticed. Before the screenings, there will be diners organized by the association LaCasaRotta of Cherasco with new and surprising gastronomic solutions, that mix local ingredients and culinary traditions from around the world.

Not only good cinema and good food. Buone Visioni also includes proposals of books, interviews to the public, movie reviews, as well as visits to the castle, the beautiful setting of the event, to complete a unique and engaging experience.

In Serralunga d’Alba we celebrate the “cugnà”

Posted on: September 4th, 2013 by Mario Ferrero

From 21st to 29th September 2013 an event in the heart of the Langhe, a reference of excellence in the world of the gastronomy.

Cugna

The Tourist Association Pro Loco of Serralunga d’Alba promotes, from 21st to 29th September 2013, a food and wine event to celebrate the “cugnà”, a traditional preparation (sauce, jam, mustard), which today is considered a delicacy to accompany the traditional Piedmont’s dishes and cheese, but which was once a real dish, prepared in every home before the long winter, for its natural long shelf.

The event, which will see the collaboration of the producers associated with the Bottega del Vino in Serralunga and restaurateurs of the town, will be divided into several appointments:

From Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th September the restaurants of Serralunga will propose a list of dishes based on cugnà, with presentations and recipes that mark the style of typical local dishes.

Saturday 28th September at the Castle of Serralunga will be held on the opening session of the event in the presence of the representations of association for the protection of the best products (ex. hazelnut and pears madernassa) used for the preparation.

Sunday 29th September the historic center of Serralunga will stage a show with all the local products: wines, cheese, meat and fruits of the earth presented by small producers, located in Piazza Umberto I, Via Roma and Via Mazzini . A space will be entirely dedicated to gastronomy with dishes based on cugnà.

Solstice at the Castle

Posted on: June 2nd, 2013 by Mario Ferrero

Friday, June 21st, 2013, at the Castle of Serralunga d’Alba, the “Crus” of Barolo will be revealed in two special events with “narrated tasting” from the top of the castle.

SELLALUNGA NOTTE

It is the longest day of the year and you can watch the magical sunset over the mountains and the hills of the Langhe from the Castle of Serralunga. Friday, June 21st, the day of the summer solstice, in Serralunga d’Alba is celebrating the arrival of the new season with an evening of unusual requests that will lead participants to discover the rooms of the Castle, the surrounding area and its wines, in an original and engaging way.

At 7.00pm and 8.00pm two appointments for a special tasting of Barolo in the presence of its places of origin. If, on the one hand, just in Serralunga the “King of wines” found a particularly favorable soil and some of the best and most historic “Cru” of the entire production area, on the other hand, the Castle has a very strong bond with the surrounding territory, an expression of extraordinary wines.

From this combination comes the proposal of a special evening with a visit to the Castle, to highlight its historic and fundamental role in the organization of the rural surrounding hills, and the narrated tasting of two glasses of Barolo and one of Moscato on the third floor of the Castle, where the breathtaking views and the guidance of an expert will allow the identification of the vineyards from which the wines tasted are produced.

All this in the company of a tour guide expert in oenology, that will tell the audience anecdotes and curiosities about the wines for tasting, offered by producers of the “Bottega del Vino di Serralunga“.

The event, sponsored by “Barolo & Castles Foundation” and “Castellidoc Langhe and Roero“, in agreement with the “Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici” (Superintendence for Architectural Heritage and Landscape), is sponsored by the “Strada del Barolo and great wines of Langa”.

Cost: 12 Euro per person (the duration of the visit and the tasting is about one hour)
