Tota Virginia - Serralunga d'Alba (CN)











The Tota Virginia restaurant with adjoining 4-star hotel is located in a magnificent panoramic position in Serralunga d'Alba in the heart of the Langhe, among the prestigious Nebbiolo da Barolo vineyards.

It drinks beautifully, with food-wine pairings of great depth, harmony and elegance, thanks to the choices of patron Riccardo Baltrocco and Sommelier Jacopo Balma Venere from a superior Cantina.
