Fabulous wine store with "so much more"…read more... Strolling the streets of Alba this evening, I came across Enoteca Le Torri. They have a large selection of wine - specifically most from the Piemonte region. (A lot of Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, etc...) I was specifically looking for Brachetto d'Acqui. And since it's difficult to purchase Brachetto in the States, I made sure to buy one bottle tonight. I don't think it'll last much longer than the balcony of my B&B tonight... ha! But fortunately they had a bunch of little "reminder signs" in the store alerting you that they can ship wines internationally. Other than wine, they also had some nice gifts - -some pastas, and a bunch of various cookie bags, other food products local to the area. Glad I stopped in... they were friendly too!

Had two bottles of their Barbaresco Garrasino (2017) grown "kilometer zero" in the vineyards around the restaurant. All set in an outdoor patio overlooking the hills of Alba. Couldn't dream of a better setting. A Michelin level experience without the pretension.
