6 - Footpath of the Grand Vineyards

From the Tourist Office go up to piazza Castello: from here a panorama encompasses the Barolo vine estates and the grand crus. A short section of the walk goes through the village, past the municipal winery, the Town Hall and the fine, imposing façade of San Martino. It follows the medieval ramparts downhill.

Turn to the left into via Vassali, turn left in via Roma and then to the cross follow strada Fontanazza onto a surfaced road which then becomes a rough path, the view opens broadly onto the most celebrated valley of Barolo. After a short stretch, turn left on the field path that leads to the village of Boiolo. Proceed downhill to the base of the valley, through Torriglione where an ancient Mulberry tree can be found. Passing between noble vineyards you come to the hamlet of Annunziata; go on along the surfaced road, borgata Ciotto then the dirt path, as far as Santa Maria, with its 19^thC church.

The walk continues briefly on the provincial road then, you arrive to the modern red bench, turns up to the right on a dirt path among the Nebbiolo vines until it reaches the last asphalted section of road into the town.
