Alexala - Tourist Board Alessandria & Monferrato

The Monferrato Alessandrino is a gently landscape, where the trail takes you from the Bormida Valley to the Ligurian Apennines, building up an itinerary along vineyards and medieval villages to uphill and downhill stretches, through the lunar landscape with badlands in the Tortona area.
This is a land of castles, to be discovered step by step on foot or by bike, along the “Strada dei Campionissimi” (the Champions Route) of Coppi and Girardengo or on the Strada del Vino dell’Alto Monferrato (Alto Monferrato Wine Route), which winds its way through a labyrinth of wine estates and "infernot", (the ancien cellars carved into the tuff), from Ovada to Gavi, Novi and Acqui Terme.
This is the land of noble DOC and DOCG wines, such as Gavi, Dolcetto and Cortese, not forgetting sparkling wines like Brachetto d'Acqui. These are wines to be savoured with local delicacies such as ”filetto baciato” (a typical salami), "friciulin" (small meatball) or Montebore cheese (with its original shape of wedding cake) and ...happy end with a taste of yummi Monferrina Cake. ...
