The restaurant itself is located on the bottom floor of the regional wine center which is in a 19th century building in the middle of town. The cuisine is modern Italian; but better appreciated for the dining experience as a whole, rather than via any particular aspect. The stock of vintage wines, available by the glass or bottle, can be sampled either in the restaurant or on the evocative terrace. Chef Davide Palluda combines his masterful innovation with local produce and game to provide customers with an incredible dining experience.

Piazza Risorgimento is the official name for this historic location, but for the people of Alba, it is known as Piazza del Duomo or Piazza del Municipio, but more importantly, it is known as the heart of the city and thus the heart of the Langhe. It is in this heart that the Ceretto family, together with the Chef Enrico Crippa, have decided to open their ambitious new venture, the restaurant Piazza Duomo. The idea behind the project was to open a prototype restaurant in which two different themes operate within the same space. La Piola, located on the first floor, will focus on traditional food and wine from the Langhe and Roero while upstairs, Piazza Duomo will be more international and allow Executive Chef Enrico Crippa to express his talent.

We begin our tour with a short walk through the vineyards. During it you will learn all you want to know about the work in the vineyard and the history of Rametz Castle. Then we pay a visit to the wine-growing museum. In its four rooms we can see all kinds of old implements, which were indispensable for the hard work in the vineyards in earlier times. It follows that we then go down into the cellars to find out more about the work there. The 18th century cellar is certainly one of the most beautiful of its kind in the whole of the Burggrafenamt. To round off the tour we sample five of our very best house wines and give you a taste of our delicious “Kaiserspeck” (raw smoked bacon), a typical South Tyrolean product.
