We start from
Torino
, beautiful town, regal and
enigmatic at the same time. With a short transfer we cycle in the
interesting area of the
Fluvial
Park
of the
Po
(the most important
italian river) and later along the wonderful “Panoramica del
Monferrato” up to Casale, one of the most interesting art cities
of the Piemont where is already possible to have proof of the
exquisite local eno-gastronomy. In the two following days you
always cycle up and down on the charming hills of the Monferrato.
We’ll make a stop in
Asti
, chief town very rich
of story, then in Moncalvo, old village in a wonderful position,
in Guarene with its castle and so we already are in the Roero,
primitive country moulded by erosions. Afterwards we reach the
medioeval Alba, the town well known for its “fiera
del
tartufo” (wolrd-famous
fair in October where it is possible to taste the exquisite
gastronomic specialities based on local product and above all
truffles) and for its great wines. Alba is the capital of the “Langhe”,
territory with a big fascination: you will remember the gentle
hills, the rows of wines, the solitary cottages in sandstone and
the fragrance of the sea that you can already taste cycling among
the hills. We’ll go on along the panoramic road
Benevello-Murazzano and reach the pretty Benevagienna with its
archeologic roman site. Last but not least our tour ends with the
visit to the historic Cherasco and above all to Bra” where
we can give oneself up again, for the last time, to the pleasures
of the table.
