To fully appreciate the history and craft behind some of the world’s most celebrated wines - those made in Piedmont’s Monferrato - you need to head underground. The Unesco-inscribed area, which also includes Langhe and Roero, is mostly associated with vineyard-dotted gentle hills and picturesque villages.
However, many do not know that, right under those hills, there are spectacular cellars where wines are left to age; some are centuries-old, and their origins remain shrouded in mystery.
