Guided tours and fuasets at the Castle

On Sunday, March 24, the castle that sits on the hilltop of Sanfrè, just a few kilometers from Bra and Carmagnola, will be the protagonist of afull day of guided tours departing every hour.

Program

The garden

The visit will begin with a tour of the garden, from which there are sweeping views of the Cuneo plain and theAlpine arc

The castle

Inside you will be able to visit some of the 16th-century rooms, including the splendid Salone dei Duchi, where the Isnardi family hosted the Dukes of Savoy, with the alcove section and ceilings full of wonderful stucco and frescoes from the late 16th century.

The tour will not only be “guided,” but also narrated®, as the guide will take the opportunity to tell stories and anecdotes, such as the origin of the curious “hen palio“, and especially describe the great importance the Castle had in history for the surrounding agricultural land, availing itself of the title “Castle of the Land”; today it is at the center of a strong presence of cereal and fodder crops with livestock farms.

Fuaset

The tour will end with a sampling of fuaset, a typical village dessert made from bread dough, and the tasting of a glass of wine from the Sicca Vini Winery.

The dessert is traditionally prepared during Lent and here revived on the last Sunday, paired with local wines.
