Area Campagna

Monferrato is one of the most captivating areas of Piedmont, a landscape shaped over time by human hands and the subtle power of nature. Its hills gently roll amidst orderly vineyards, tranquil forests, and charming villages that retain their unspoiled allure. This is a land that encourages you to slow down, listen to the sounds of the countryside, and savor the authentic quality of rural life.

Casorzo is located in the heart of this region, nestled between the Asti and Alessandria Monferrato areas, making it an ideal starting point for discovering the surrounding beauty. The scenery changes with the seasons, offering different colors and atmospheres throughout the year: the spring blooms, the green vineyards of summer, the vibrant reds of autumn, and the hushed silences of winter.

The entire region has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, not only for the harmony of its landscape but also for the rich wine culture that permeates it. Here, some of Italy's most famous wines are produced, such as Barbera d’Asti, Malvasia, and Asti Spumante, thanks to a deep-rooted and ancient winemaking knowledge. Visitors can tour historic cellars, taste renowned labels, and uncover the secrets of winemaking, guided by those who passionately preserve these traditions.

Particularly intriguing are the “Infernot” areas, small hand-dug underground cellars carved from Pietra da Cantoni, a crumbly rock typical of lower Monferrato. These cool, dry spaces were originally designed for storing the finest bottles. Today, they are open for visits and represent a unique cultural heritage, symbolizing a deep connection to the land and its history.

However, Monferrato offers more than just wine; it is also a hub of art, history, and gastronomy. Medieval castles, Romanesque churches, scenic trails, and local festivals mark the calendar and the landscape. The local cuisine is rich and generous, featuring authentic flavors such as tajarin, agnolotto, mixed fried dishes typical of Piedmont, and hazelnut desserts.

Staying in this area means embracing a different pace of life, filled with simple and genuine experiences, surrounded by a landscape that speaks of beauty, hard work, and respect for one's roots.
