Asti Langa

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.

The village was founded by a group of Benedictine monks around 1050. The current castle corresponds to the site of the original monastery.

Loazzolo is an old isolated village built on the hills with narrow alleys and surrounded by stone walls.

Mombaldone is a small jewel of the Middle Ages. It's the only village in the Langa Astigiana still surrounded by the original walls and walking through it is a journey back in time.

Built as a fortified balcony dominating the lower part of the Bormida valley, Bubbio has an impressive view over the vineyards and the woods. Impressive are also its narrow roads and stairs and its fourteenth-century houses.

To fully enjoy the rustic beauty of Cessole you have to climb up the old winding road that joins the houses of the ancient lords until you end up in the square of the church.
