Via V. Emanuele, 42, Alfiano Natta

This is in the hills of the Monferrato, with a landscape of vineyards, mixed farmland and small wooded ridges. The Po lies to the north within this part of Piemonte, and the nearest larger towns for everyday services are Casale Monferrato and Asti. The wider area is known for wine production, especially Barbera and other Monferrato denominations, and for a pattern of small hilltop villages and farmsteads.
