History


La Morra originated as Murra (Latin: "sheep fencing"), a village built in the Roman era by the nearby town of Alba Pompeia. In 1631 it became a possession of the House of Savoy.

Long a major wine growing region, it was illegal in La Morra to cut down a Nebbiolo vine. The penalties for this offense ranged from a fine, to having a hand amputated to hanging.[4]
