Highlights
This is a wine tour to discover Monferrato: one of the most suggestive and less touristic areas of Piedmont, rich in history and great wines. The first stop will be a small natural winery in the area where I will introduce you to the oenologist and producer who will guide you, together with me, to discover his cellar, his wines and his production philosophy. After the first visit you will have lunch in a traditional restaurant selected by me where you can discover typical Piedmontese dishes enjoying the tranquility of the local atmosphere. After a relaxing lunch break we will leave for another traditional winery where, after listening to the story of the rediscovery of an ancient native variety, we will visit an ancient underground cellar and together with the producer we will taste their most classic wines. During the day we will have the opportunity to walk along scenic roads admiring fascinating corners of Monferrato and discovering small hidden treasures of Piedmont.

Itinerary
This is a beautiful hilly area just 30 minutes drive from the city of Asti. You will have the opportunity to discover some of the ancient grape varieties native to this area and visit a small producer and his ancient cellar located at the top of the old village.
A short visit to this small, ancient village in the heart of Monferrato. Enjoy a delicious lunch in a traditional restaurant and immerse yourself in the peaceful local atmosphere.
Just outside the historic center of Moncalvo, I'll show you one of the region's most interesting small wine producers. Focusing on ancient local varietals, a natural method, and long aging, this winery is an absolute gem in the local wine scene. You'll taste these unique wines straight from the barrels with the winemaker and his partner.

About Asti
Asti is a wine town in Piedmont, home of the sparkling wine that bears its name, with medieval towers and a bareback horse race each September.
Asti lies on a plain among the vine-covered hills of Piedmont's Monferrato district, south-east of Turin. It grew as a medieval commune of towers and merchant-bankers, and the cathedral, a Gothic building of red brick, and a number of medieval tower-houses survive in the old centre. Piazza Alfieri, a long triangular square named after the poet Vittorio Alfieri, who was born in the town, is its centre.
