Costigliole d'Asti

Highlight • Castle

A short or longer stop at the Vino Enobottega on the Piazza Umberto is worthwhile. Great wine selection and non-alcoholic refreshments too. The place is still untouched by tourists and invites you to linger. Worth a detour.

Costigliole d'Asti Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle, configured in a single and imposing square volume, reveals evident architectural stylistic differences, originating from the layout choices undertaken in the 17th century by the legitimate owners. Starting from 1625, the Asinari nobles shared the rank of "counts of Costigliole" with the noble Verasis family. This complex was therefore divided between two feudal lords, who, with autonomous determination, gave rise to transformations and embellishments on subjective bases. The northern part of the manor, pertaining to the Asinari, retains the appearance derived from the interventions of the second half of the eighteenth century, duly inspired by the architectural canons propagated by Benedetto Alfieri. At the same time, the external aspect of the southern part, pertaining to the Verasis, constitutes an interesting example of neo-medieval stylistic re-proposition, dating back to the first decades of the 19th century.

Annunziata (hamlet of Costigliole)

Highlight • Religious Site

At the crossroads between Costigliole, various hamlets and Castagnole delle Lanze. Perfect place for a short stop thanks to 2 benches and a tree to provide shade.

San Rocco roundabout (Castagnole delle Lanze AT)

Highlight • Religious Site

Roundabout that marks the entrance, or eventual exit, from the town. In this case, you can see it from the track, I didn't go down to Valle Tanaro by taking the provincial road, but I took via IV novembre towards the Olmo hamlet to experiment with new roads.

Historic Center of Mango

Highlight • Historical Site

The town is very small, but packed with points of interest. The starting point is the castle, which occupies the summit; a beautiful masonry structure, it now houses the Regional Wine Shop. Opposite the castle is the Town Hall, and next to it is a rest area with benches, a fountain, and a lovely view of the Langhe. On the opposite side is the Church of Saints James and Christopher, a beautiful building of medieval origin, but completely rebuilt in the 17th century, with its façade subsequently remodeled in neoclassical style. Continuing downhill, you reach one of the town's ancient gates, which leads onto the provincial road. Slightly further away (and requiring some effort to find), the Church of the Holy Trinity, also from the 17th century, has a very simple façade (and a beautiful door on the side), and is unfortunately somewhat neglected. The entire tour takes little time, but is worth the detour. Near the town gate, a restaurant also offers a chance to combine gastronomy and culture.

Chiesa di San Rocco

Highlight • Religious Site

A small and charming eighteenth-century church nestled among the Langhe hills. The simple facade and the characteristic bell tower tell the rural story of Valdivilla, a hamlet of Santo Stefano Belbo. A quiet and fascinating corner to discover while cycling among vineyards and hilly roads.
