Trilocale in Asti

The cluster is in the built-up area of Asti, so the setting is an urban plain-and-hill edge rather than open countryside. The Tanaro valley runs through this part of Piemonte, with vineyard hills of the Monferrato beginning around the city. Asti is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre with medieval towers, churches and regular services, but this does not remove the urban cap. The wider area is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato and Astigiano production.
