Monforte d'Alba, Cuneo, medieval building
Ideal for a weekend, or simply for a food and wine tour, this town in the province of Cuneo offers its visitors the charm of & lt; Strong>Langhe and the vast culture deriving from the ancient origins dating back to the Neolithic and Roman times.
The history of Monforte D'Alba is very interesting: its name comes from the Mons Fortis castle of the era medieval. Noteworthy is the story according to which the Castellans were all followers of the Cathar ideology (a heterodoous religious movement defined as a heretic by the Catholic Church). Following a siege, the population was deported to Milan forced to choose between the abjura and the stake. Consistent with their ideas, most chose death rather than abjura it.
The local food and wine heritage is very rich, you can stop in different cellars, bars, wineries, enjoying the delicacies of the place surrounded by the exuberant Langarolo panorama. The offer of accommodation is varied: farmhouses, Bed & Breakfasts, pensions, campsites, hostels, rent rooms, apartments, each accommodation is adequate to enjoy the beauty of the territory.
The patronal feast is 5 August: we celebrate Our Lady of the Snow.
I invite you to discover the land of the vineyards, the flavors of typical local dishes and the exquisiteness of luxury wines.
