Lazenne Blog

Have you heard of the Roero in Northern Italy’s Piedmont wine region? If your answer is no, you are not alone. It’s an area that has long been overshadowed by the neighboring Barolo and Barbaresco winemaking zones, collectively known as the Langhe.

Over the summer we had the opportunity to get to know the Roero by way of Azienda Agricola Demarie and we are excited to report that the area – and the producer – are worth a visit during your wine travels.

Only a few days before the whole world celebrates #ChampagneDay. On Friday, October 23rd people across the globe will be popping corks to celebrate this magnificent bubbly and the good things in life in general.

To celebrate our first Champagne Day at Lazenne we have decided to do something incredibly cool for our customers. We have teamed up with Champagne Manchin Pascal and will be including a bottle of their amazing Cuvée Tradition Brut with every purchase of our 12 or 15 bottle Wine Check luggage from now until the end of October 23rd!* Yes, you are reading this correctly - a free bottle of Champagne from a truly talented producer absolutely free. *The only bummer is that due to legal restrictions, we can only extend this offer to purchases that will be shipped within the European Union. 

Don’t forget your wine travel case if you are visiting Piedmont for the Annual Alba White Truffle Fair.

You have probably noticed that we’ve been talking a lot about Piedmont - and specifically the winemaking areas of the Langhe and Roero in the past month. That’s because it is the area’s high tourist season with the annual Alba White Truffle Fair.

The Alba White Truffle Fair takes place each weekend from October 10 to November 15.

Located in Alba’s centro storico (historic center), the fair offers visitors an opportunity to explore the fabled Alba White Truffle as well as other typical products of the region –especially the wine.

A list of some of the best places to eat, drink, and stay in the Langhe.
