Took a local bus from Asti to the village of Castagnole Monferrato and walked through the lush countryside of this wine producing area. We then visited a traditional family owned and operated vineyard and sat in their living room for wine tasting after inspecting their ancient cellar. Their speciality is a red wine variety called Ruche. We then went to a very local ‘agriturismo’ guest house where we had a magnificent lunch of regional produce accompanied by local red, Asti Moscato and of course complimentary Limoncello. the bus ride back took us through lovely villages and really scenic countryside.
