Vineyards in Castagnole Monferrato
The origin of the name of Castagnole Monferrato is due to the fact that once the hills that surround it were a succession of chestnut woods, today However, those chestnut trees gave way to the finest varieties of Ruché, a rare and delicious wine.
The village, which is located just over ten kilometers from Asti, has retained a particular charm with lots of medieval buildings, and largely preserved the long walls that protected it from external attacks.
In short, getting here is like taking a jump back in time, if then walking through the alleys you decide to make a stop, the church of San Martino, a beautiful example of Baroque Piedmontese with an exposed brick facade, it is the ideal place for a moment of recollection.
Also worth seeing is the sundial that the Castagnolesi define the largest in the world and, by taking a visit to the La Mercantile estate, here is the most ugrave; great in Europe, but even the cellars are not to be underestimated, in fact, those dug into the tuff called crutin are still used here.
What to do when you are on holiday in Castagnole d'Asti? Of course you can't help but go to cellars and, if you want to know the finest wine of the place, the ideal time is the second weekend of May when the Festa del Ruché is held, which also sees delicious tastings of Piedmontese fried mixed.
There are also walks, trekking, cycling for a relaxing holiday.
