MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine

This small restaurant next to the Brandini winery has chef Luca Zecchin at its helm, a true connoisseur of Langhe culinary traditions and one of the more recent disciples of Lidia Alciati (known as the “queen” of Piedmontese cuisine). Nearly all the ingredients used here are sourced locally, some even from the property itself, such as eggs and vegetables from the kitchen garden. The dishes are divided between those which pay tribute to the traditions of the region (don’t miss the “plin”) and others which showcase the chef’s personal style, including a menu dedicated to the barbecue grill. The latter is even used in some of the sweets, such as the smoky-flavoured bread and chocolate dessert. The wine list demonstrates the same affection for Piedmont, as well as featuring a selection of champagnes. During the day, enjoy the splendid view through the picture windows that surround the dining room, which also boasts a large fireplace.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"This new restaurant within the Brandini winery (certified as organic since 2011) works hard to cultivate a philosophy which respects and protects the land. In the greenhouse, seeds personally selected by the chef are germinated and later planted out in the organic kitchen garden, while a hen house is home to 10 naturally fed chickens that provide the restaurant with its eggs. This sustainable approach is also evident on a menu which focuses uniquely on the local region."
