Hey, I'm Marina

The story of Agriturismo Cascina Ponchietta is deeply intertwined with the family that has passionately cultivated this land for generations. It all began with grandfather Giuseppe and grandmother Maria, who hailed from San Vito, a locality in Montà. In 1973, they moved to Ponchietta with their six children. Here, they continued their longstanding work: raising Piedmontese cattle, cultivating vineyards, grain fields, and hazelnut orchards, while upholding traditions deeply rooted in the area. Vittorio, one of Giuseppe's sons, grew up in the manor house built around 1920, attending the agricultural institute in Grinzane Cavour and graduating in 1986. Marina, on the other hand, was born in Alba and dedicated herself eagerly to the family bakery from a young age. Their paths crossed in 1991, and three years later, in 1994, they fulfilled their dream of a life together. Their desire to build a large family came true with the birth of Giulia in 1995, followed by Francesco in 1997, Pietro in 1999, and Giacomo in 2001. Meanwhile, in 1998, another idea was born: to open the farm for hospitality. In January 2000, renovation work began on the farmhouse, aiming to preserve its authentic charm and original features. After months of hard work and dedication, the agriturismo officially opened its doors to guests in September of that same year. Today, it is Marina who warmly welcomes those who choose to stay at Ponchietta, offering insights about the area and ensuring an authentic experience filled with genuine hospitality and true flavors.

The Roero is a region of breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and culinary traditions that captivate every visitor. Located on the left bank of the Tanaro River, this hilly area is known for its wild nature, filled with dense vegetation, vineyards, and the stunning Rocche, a geological formation that stretches across the land for 32 kilometers.

Montà, home to Agriturismo Cascina Ponchietta, is the perfect starting point for discovering Roero. It hosts the Ecomuseo delle Rocche, an open-air museum that connects eight historical villages perched on the hilltops. The thematic trails, such as the Beekeeping Trail, Chestnut Trail, Wolf Trail, and Truffle Trail, provide immersive nature experiences, ideal for hiking and mountain biking. Upon request, a packed lunch can be arranged to enjoy in a typical ciabot, the charming rural houses of the Roero.

Just a few kilometers away, artistic and cultural cities like Alba, the capital of the Langhe and truffles, Bra, the heart of the Slow Food movement, and Asti, with its enchanting medieval historic center, offer a perfect blend of history, gastronomy, and tradition. Turin, around 40 km away, is a must-visit for art and architecture lovers, showcasing attractions such as the Mole Antonelliana, the Egyptian Museum, the Reggia di Venaria, and the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi.

Wine enthusiasts will find Roero to be a true paradise: the hills are home to some of the finest Piemontese crus, with Roero Arneis DOCG and Roero DOCG being among the standout varieties. Numerous wine shops and local wineries offer tastings of excellent wines, paired with local specialties such as the Canale peach, Madernassa pear, and exquisite acacia honey.

For those who enjoy sports and outdoor activities, the region offers routes for cyclists and motorcyclists, horseback riding, golf courses, and even an outdoor center with a bike park. Autumn, in particular, is the perfect season for truffle enthusiasts: visitors can take part in traditional truffle hunting experiences with a dog, guided by knowledgeable local experts.

Whether exploring medieval villages, savoring gastronomic delights, or immersing oneself in nature, Roero provides a wide array of experiences for every traveler, offering unique views and moments of genuine relaxation.
