"Cru" Escape: One Night with dinner at Il Piglio Wine Resort with dinner included

Spend one night at Al Piglio Wine Resort Maison de Charme, in the countryside of Piglio in the heart of Ciociaria, the historic home of Cesanese del Piglio DOCG. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and around one hour from Rome by car, the estate brings together wine, food and countryside hospitality in one of Lazio’s lesser-known wine territories.

Al Piglio belongs to the same family behind Serradenari in La Morra, Piedmont, creating a distinctive connection between the Cesanese hills of Lazio and the Langhe. Your stay includes one night with breakfast in one of the estate’s rooms, each with independent access and surrounded by the rural landscape of the property.

The centrepiece of this CRU stay is the “Tra vigne e cucina” tasting dinner at Terra Restaurant, built around seasonal ingredients and the flavours of Ciociaria. The dinner includes at least 2 glasses of wine, selected to accompany the menu and create a genuine food-and-wine pairing experience.

Wine is an important part of the identity of Al Piglio. The estate works in the territory of Cesanese del Piglio DOCG, with Jan Negri Piglio representing its local red-wine production, while the same family’s connection with Serradenari in La Morra brings the Langhe and grapes such as Nebbiolo into the wider wine story of the property. The precise wines poured with dinner are selected according to the seasonal menu.

The services included with your stay vary according to the season. From May to September, you can enjoy the estate’s outdoor swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi and outdoor fitness area.

From October to May, the summer pool experience is replaced by a 2-hour Agri Wellness circuit in the estate’s olive grove. The circuit includes two whirlpool tubs with energising and relaxing aromatherapy, a Lithuanian barrel sauna with lavender and the Winter Garden relaxation area, where herbal teas, dried fruit and house-made biscuits are served. The outdoor fitness area also remains available.

The following morning, breakfast includes yogurt with granola, homemade cakes, fresh seasonal fruit and coffee before departure.

Outside the included experiences, you have time to explore Ciociaria independently. Anagni, with its medieval historic centre, is around 20 minutes away, while Fiuggi is also nearby. You can equally choose to remain among the vineyards and olive groves and enjoy the slower rhythm of the wine resort.
