pleasant view, in middle of the world famous wine and truffle
producing hills area

Should you like to enjoy not only the beauty and peace of the Cascina,
but also the most striking artistic and historical expressions of the
area, just a few kilometers away you can reach the renowned Castles
of Barolo, Grinzane Cavour, Govone, Alfieri, Novello, Verduno, etc.
A waor a drive of about 3 km will bring you to the farms described
by Beppe Fenoglio in his books (Il partigiano Johnny, La malora) and,
on the other side of the hill, to the birthplace of Cesare Pavese
- Stefano Belbo- where you will be able to visit his natal home
and the "Centre of Studies".

The town of Alba with its medieval towers, the old arcades, and the
museums, is about 10 Km far. Regarded as the "capital of the Langhe",
the town hosts very famous events, such as:
- “Vinum - presentation and tasting of the wines of the area, and of
the most typical local products” (Spring);
- “Market-exhibition of the white truffle of the Langhe and the
Roero”, joyned by a sequence of events both cultural and
enogastronomical, that comes to an end in the Castle of Grinzane
Cavour with the charitable Auction of the giant truffle, to which the
most famous restaurateurs take part (Fall).

The most precious wines of Piemonte, known by all the lovers, are
produced in this area; the local products and the cuisine are in
themselves well worth a journey.

Marketplaces:
In this area, the market is still an event attracting all people from
the surrounding villages, and is also the occasion to arrange
transactions of agricoltural products, real estates, lands, etc. It's
such a pleasure to wander around the colourful booths, looking around
and discovering curiosities, handicrafts, local products, agricultural
tools, and sensing the special atmosphere of cheerfulness and
complicity shared by sellers and buyers. The markets of Cuneo, Asti,
Bra are huge; at Alba on saturday morning the whole historic centre is
involved, with specialized areas, from the marketplace dedicated to
biological products to the one dedicated to agriculture, going through
the streets dedicated to clothes and linen.
