Description

Situated in the heart of Piedmont and nestled in the Tanaro Valley, Asti is a city of ancient and noble charm, renowned worldwide for its outstanding food and wine heritage and the richness of its history. Founded as a Roman castrum, it became one of the wealthiest and most powerful communes in Northern Italy during the Middle Ages. Asti still bears the nickname “Città delle 100 Torri” (City of a Hundred Towers), a reminder of its golden age, when noble families built imposing towers as symbols of their wealth and power. The city is also famous for the historic Palio of Asti and enjoys international recognition thanks to the surrounding Monferrato hills, which form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is here that renowned wines such as Asti Spumante DOCG and Barbera d’Asti are produced, making the city an unmissable destination for lovers of fine food and wine, culture and authentic Piedmontese traditions.
