Asti Langa

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.

It’s the door to the Asti part of the Langhe. Here pilgrims come by feet from the Belbo and Bormida rivers to visit the Caffi sanctuary and gourmets come to taste prestigious wines and foods.

The town revolves around the majestic castle, now a municipal property with an almost thousand-year history. At the end of the eighteenth century it was owned by the Marquis Filippo Asinari, politician and diplomat who dedicated time and passion to wine.
