It is easily accessible through a short stretch of dirt road which is connected to the asphalt municipal one.

Roccaverano, that lies in the Langhe (800 metres above sea level), is famous for some of the most prestigious Italian wines: Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo and Barbera. It is known for its “Robiola”, a soft cheese that is produced with goat’s milk by the municipal dairy and also by small producers. Roccaverano is the seat of the Langa Astigiana consortium of communes in mountain areas. This small village lies in a very quiet location, that is an ideal place for a walk or a ride.
