Tenuta Barac

Winery in Langhe, Moscato d'Asti

About the Winery

Tenuta Barac was established in the 1960s in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio, a small village within the town of Alba, at the heart of the Langhe wine region.

Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia, young newlyweds from farming families, decided to honor their heritage by investing in the Langhe's unique land.

The estate features a beautiful farmhouse from the early 20th century, which has undergone extensive historical and architectural renovations to reveal its original materials. Today, it offers cozy settings, warm hospitality, and high-quality services in a tranquil environment. Situated about 250 meters above sea level, Cascina Baràc provides guests with some of the most stunning views in the region. The view over the vine-covered hills of the Langhe is particularly enchanting, offering a truly unique experience in a timeless setting where nature, art, history, elegance, and hospitality seamlessly blend together.

About the Wines

The vineyards surrounding Tenuta Barac are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and belong to one of Italy's most celebrated wine regions. The landscape features sun-kissed hills adorned with rows of vines and verdant woods. The natural colors change with the seasons, presenting ever-evolving scenery. Among these vines are born some of the world's most esteemed wines: Barolo and Barbaresco. Tenuta Barac serves as the ideal starting point for exploring this enchanting area, rich in flavors and traditions.

Tenuta Barac is situated in a unique location at the heart of the Barbaresco hills, nestled in a green valley where vineyards blend with woods and abundant nature.

An experience to try
The estate is set among the hills and vineyards of the Langhe, an oasis of tranquility. We were welcomed by the owner, who is young and passionate about the work passed down to her by her family. She showed us the vineyards and the wine production area; at that moment the workers were putting the grapes into the pressing machine, so we witnessed the first part of the process. She explained how they produce their wine, then we returned to the estate where our tasting was waiting for us, which we chose to accompany with cold cuts and cheeses. The platter was generous and the products were excellent. We tasted one of their whites (which we later purchased), the Nebbiolo, the Barbaresco, and the Barolo. We also purchased the Nebbiolo and the Barbera, which I wanted to taste as an extra. In the meantime, the characteristics, ideal pairings, and production areas of the various wines were explained to us.
A truly wonderful and interesting experience that is an absolute must-do during a trip to the Langhe, because wine and its production are an essential part of the culture and history of the area.
The estate is also a farmhouse.
Also worth trying, in addition to the ones proposed, is the Barbera.

Vineyard visit and guided tasting
We visited Tenuta Baràc in August with a friend and the experience was great from start to finish. The tour starts in the vineyard with a view of the Langhe hills, and then moves to the small cellar where the barrels are kept. The guided tasting included their Barbaresco, as well as other local wines that made us appreciate the different potential of Nebbiolo, accompanied by a board of local cold cuts: a great way to truly get to know the wines of the area. Warm hospitality and clear explanations even for those who are not experts. Recommended for anyone looking for an authentic food and wine stop in the Langhe. If we are in the area again, we will definitely be back!

Afternoon in the vineyard
Highly recommended experience, the location is very charming and the hospitality truly excellent. The tasting was much appreciated for both the wine and the accompanying food.
The wine we liked most during the tasting was the white Arneis, in fact we also bought a case.
The vineyards are very romantic and everything was made wonderful by the colors of the sky at sunset.
Take just one afternoon to go to this fantastic place.

Perfect Wine Tasting and Tour with a lot of Information
The wine tasting exceeded our expectations! The sommelier showed us around the premises and into the wine cellar with lots of useful information. At the end we were able to taste 5 wines with small snacks (meat/cheese/crostini) and for each wine she explained again how it was made and why the different areas exist (like Barolo, etc.). She was also open to questions and was able to answer all questions professionally.
I can completely recommend this tour for everyone!
