Berliner Weisse is a specialty of Berlin: it's a top fermented,bottle conditioned. wheat beer.
Because it is tart and acidic Berliners mix it with either raspberry or woodruff juice and drink it through a straw (which is quite controversial in Germany).
Napoleon liked his Berliner Weisse without syrup and called it "the champagne of the North".
In the US about 100 years ago this type of beer, made according to the Berliner Weisse method, was the most popular beer in the US.

The Ceretto family in Alba is literally and seriously involved in all 3 area.
Established wine growers for 70 years they also own their own upscale restaurants and have enlisted major world artists to decorate their building.
This never consecrated psychedelic chapel was painted by Saul Lewitt in 1999.
Their winery is in nearby Castiglione Falletto, an old medieval town. However true to their adventurous spirit they picked Turin architect De Abate to design their modern building with a glass cube for the tasting room.
On these hils on 20 acres they produce 3 outstanding Barolos which have won the company many awards:
Bricco Rocche, Prapo and Brunate.
So for their Piazza Duomo restaurant they picked Enrico Crippa, an awarded chef who paints beautiful dishes in the kitchen and the artist Francesco Clemente who painted the walls.
Of course their Barolo is always on the table.
The Chef explains that the fresco it represents happiness, the vineyard, nature and freedom.
He also remembers that Clemente was painting with natural colors, made with flowers and natural herbs so while painting the room always filled up with insects and bees which were following the scent as if they were in an open field instead of a room in the center of town.
