Strada Comunale Cerca, 14, Tortona

The area sits on the edge of the Colli Tortonesi, with low hills of vineyards and mixed farmland rising from the plain. The Scrivia valley is nearby, and the Curone and Ossona valleys are close in the hill country to the east and south-east. Tortona is the nearest town of size, with a cathedral, a compact historic centre and rail links on the Genoa–Milan axis. The area is known for wine from the Colli Tortonesi, especially Timorasso, and for mixed agricultural countryside between the Po plain and the Ligurian Apennine foothills.
