Cá Bergantino, 4, Vignale Monferrato

The area is in the Monferrato hills, with vine-covered slopes, small wooded ridges and mixed farming. The nearest river of note is the Po farther north, but within the local radius the landscape is mainly rolling inland hills rather than a major water feature. Asti is the nearest larger town with full services, rail links and a substantial historic centre, and Casale Monferrato is also within practical reach. This part of Monferrato is known for vineyards and wine production, especially the hills of the Asti and Monferrato wine country. The wider Monferrato wine landscape has UNESCO World Heritage status, including core zones in the Asti area.
