Palazzo - Edificio in Villanova d'Asti

This is the transition zone between the Monferrato hills and the plain east of Turin, with rolling cultivated hills, small woods and scattered villages. The area is tied to the Banna stream basin and to the wider agricultural landscape between Chieri and Asti. Chieri is the nearest larger town and provides the main services, schools and shops for this side of the province. The area is known for vineyards, cereals and mixed farming, but it is not inside one of the more distinctive wine landscapes of southern Monferrato or the Langhe.
