Langhe rhymes with Italian gastronomic excellence, as in La Madernassa Restaurant and Resort, which has one Michelin star.
One of the world’s 100 best restaurants
In the village of Guarene, close to the town of Alba in Piedmont’s Langhe del Roero region, the Cascina Casa Lora farmhouse property has been renovated preserving its peasant heritage. It combined tradition with contemporary production techniques and with an emphasis on renewable energy sources. The We’re Smart Green Guide lists La Madernassa as one of the world’s 100 best restaurants. With solar and wind power, using Monviso’s natural spring water and the restaurant preferring glass and aluminum to plastic, every element from the restaurant and the swimming pool to the architecture in the guest rooms and the services offered to guests, speaks green.
Local suppliers and environmental resources
The vegetable garden, vineyard, greenhouse and forest supply the restaurant’s kitchen for Chef Giuseppe D'Errico’s farm-to-fork cuisine including Evergreen, a green salad of ingredients picked from the garden, for a sustainable, fresh and dynamic starter. With In cima di Bra Chef d’Errico proposes an autumn and winter dish combining sausages with friarelli, which are a type of broccoli, and his Risotto grande e rosso is inspired by the art of the Italian artist Alberto Burri. La Madernassa sources only from local suppliers in a virtuous use of environmental resources, and in compliance with eco-sustainability and traceability. The extensive cellar houses fine wines from the most famous wineries in the Langhe, including organic and biodynamic productions.
