Roero

The territory of the Municipality of Ceresole is very extensive and partly covered with woods renowned for the wealth of mushrooms and wild animals.

The castle of Monticello is one of the most impressive and best preserved medieval buildings in Piedmont. It belongs to the Roero family since 1372 and was recently opened to the public.

The town, characterized by the crenellated medieval tower, is located in a wonderful panoramic position: from here the scenery opens onto the long and marvelous hills of Langhe and Roero.

The village is located at the top of a steep hill dominated by the castle. The vineyards that cover the hills are renowned for their great quality.

Built on the top of one of the Rocche, Baldissero is a rural town: here strawberries are grown, along with the grapes with which two great wines are made, Roero and Arneis.

The town stretches on the top of the Rocche. The ancient thirteenth-century tower has been halved today because the cliff on which it stands has become so thin that it makes the structure unsafe.

This municipality includes a vast territory, from the hills of Roero to the Tanaro river, that divides it from the Langhe. Famous are the wines produced in these hills, especially the Nebbiolo for Roero.

In Govone one of the best Barbera of Piedmont is produced. The village is dominated by an impressive baroque castle with a beautiful garden.

The historic center of Magliano is lying on the top of the hill and is characterized by the imposing eighteenth-century castle that belonged to the Alfieri.

Built on the top of a hill on the left side of the Tanaro river, is one of the best-preserved town in the Roero. The castle is the best exemple of Piedmontese eighteenth-century architecture.

The town is dominated by its castle and the colors of its houses create an ancient and picturesque atmosphere.

The medieval tower of the village is a remnant of the ancient castle and bears witness to the fourteenth-century feudal affirmation of the Roero family.
