2011 June Langhe Trip - La Morra

The second stop on Day 2 of our Langhe trip was La Morra.  Rather than being nestled in a valley like Barolo, La Morra is one of the hilltop towns of Langhe.  We were just passing through to see the sights so we didn't do much there other than taking photo's.  But we did see an elderly (70's) gentleman dress as a western sherif.  You don't see that everyday in Italy.  But no one in town seemed to take notice, so perhaps it is more normal than we would guess...

Beyond that we ended our walk at the town cantina (community wine shop that features the local vineyards).  Unfortunately we had left our wine guides back at the car.  There seemed to be a zillion types and makes to chose from but we were pretty clueless so we grabbed two bottles from a maker that looked familiar (from our tasting in Barolo earlier in the day).  At 5 euro a bottle they seemed like low risk.

The cantina included a small lecture hall the was evocative of a wine cellar.  Very nicely styled with a mix of old structure and modern lighting elements.



















Here are a few shots from the city streets....
