Asti Langa

Canelli is famous for its sparkling wines; the labels of the main producers are visible near the Gancia castle, that dominates the old part of the town.

Castel Boglione is part of a wine country par excellence. In ancient times inhabited by the Ligurians and the Celts, the first certain information on Castel Boglione is around 1230.

This is the land of Barbera, Moscato, Brachetto, and Dolcetto with dozens of farms, many of which sell their grapes to the big Cantina Sociale (cooperative winery) which dominates the town.

A land of great DOC and DOCG wines, but also a place of art and history. Montabone is a delightful, well-preserved village with ancient stone houses.

A double face town: a modern part, made up of houses and villas aligned on the outskirts of the provincial road to Cortemilia, and a historical, medieval one, hidden from the sight of those who pass quickly, but fascinating and full of surprises.

Here stood once a strong castle that was knocked down at the beginning of the XVIII century; today only the bastions are standing, along with the square tower.

Sessame is a curious village built on an easily-sloughing ground, as well as the homeland of Brachetto, a sweet red wine with a wonderful aroma. The vineyards cover a large part of the territory.

Ancient village today famous fot its Robiola cheese, Roccaverano is the capital of the part of the Langhe around Asti.

The country visually represents the indissoluble link between Langa and Liguria, between hills and sea: a tufaceous land rich in shells and marine fossils.
