Roero

Built on the top of one of the Rocche, Baldissero is a rural town: here strawberries are grown, along with the grapes with which two great wines are made, Roero and Arneis.

The town stretches on the top of the Rocche. The ancient thirteenth-century tower has been halved today because the cliff on which it stands has become so thin that it makes the structure unsafe.

This municipality includes a vast territory, from the hills of Roero to the Tanaro river, that divides it from the Langhe. Famous are the wines produced in these hills, especially the Nebbiolo for Roero.
