Today we set out to discover one of the WWF naturalistic oasis. Here numerous species of wild orchid grow. Woods, vineyards and old farmhouses make the scenery unique, and create harmony between nature and human activities. A delicious picnic with Langhe specialties awaits us after the pleasant visit. In the afternoon we move to Roccaverano, the small capital of the Langa Astigiana. The town stands on an isolated hill. On clear summer days you can see the Ligurian Sea from the high tower. We stroll around the alleys, every house, door and church tells a story. Roccaverano is famous for the robiola, the local goat cheese. We visit a small producer and taste the special robiola. We return to Bubbio in time for dinner.
