Roero is an homogeneous land, it is bounded by Tanaro river to the south, bordering the provinces of Asti and Turin to the south-east and north and to the highway 61 to the west. Roero hills are Asti hills west edge and they extend on the left of Tanaro river.
The land has homogeneous geo-morphological characteristics and a cultural identity originated in periods of strong historical aggregation and cohesion. It includes 24 villages and one of them is in the province of Asti (Cisterna), together with a piece of Albania, which is on the left of Tanaro.
Flora and fauna original wild nature together with the incredible beauty of the “Rocche” (the fortresses) make this land one of Piedmont most unpolluted areas.
Roero is a land with many economic resources: the most renown wines are produced here, Arneis, Roero, Nebbiolo, Moscato, Dolcetto and Favorita. Tanaro fertile valley, from Bra to Govone, is a land covered with vegetables and fruit cultivations, “Madernassa” pears from Vezza d’Alba, the asparagus from Montà, the chestnuts from the Rocche villages, the peaches from Canale, honey, mushrooms and truffles.
Going around from a place to an other, the view gets lost in a mosaic of medieval little villages, wonderful castles and towers, green hills, where orchards, hazel groves, woodlands and vineyards grow intertwined, this is the result of man’s work.
All this is revealed in a land that in spring blooms delightfully, becoming then a harmony of colours and nuances in autumn.
