Neive

Cobbled lanes wind in rings round the top of Neive's hill and climb to the 13th-century clock tower, the old symbol of the town. Below lies Piazza Italia, an 18th-century square, and a string of brick palaces, among them the house where Francesco Cotti wrote one of Piedmont's oldest texts on growing vines. Fittingly, the surrounding Langhe slopes produce Barbaresco, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato.
