Ca' Rapulin

Less than an hour from industrial Turin is the remarkable Langhe, a region of immense natural beauty that boasts a vibrant wine and food lineage. Among Langhe's verdant rolling hills, just South of Asti, is the small town of Calosso. A viticultural and enogastronomical center bordering Santo Stefano Belbo and Castiglione Tinella, Calosso is a prestigious area of Moscato d'Asti and Barbera d'Asti. It recently earned the honor of being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perched on top of Calosso's enchanting hills you will find Ca' Rapulin.

A completely restored 19th Century Piemontese farm-house with stable and hay barn on one side and living quarters on the other, Ca' Rapulin blends naturally with its beautiful surroundings. It is the ideal vacation destination for those interested in discovering the Langhe region, its history, natural beauty, as well as its viticultural and enogastronomical traditions. The comfortable bedrooms, each with stunning views of the surrounding vineyards, the terraces, the swimming pool, the barbecue pit, the roomy kitchens and relaxing living rooms make Ca' Rapulin attractive for families and small groups seeking to enjoy the numerous local festivals and food fairs.

The daily meals offered at Ca' Rapulin are pleasant journeys through old culinary traditions. They reflect the typical flavors and aromas of Langhe and Monferrato. Guests are welcome spectators of all phases of "home-made" food preparation: from the slow yeast activation of bread and focaccia in the wood burning oven, to the daily baking of breadsticks, to the playful manipulation of fresh dough. The spacious kitchen is center stage to the re-enactment of old recipes honoring traditions while, at the same time, exploring new flavors. Every meal proposed by the young staff is an enogastronomical discovery of local products and produce. The didactical vegetable garden is a daily source of seasonal offerings, always paired with the wines from the Ca Rapulin estate. The dedication, warmth and professional touch of the entire staff make all meals an exquisite experience.
