Castiglione is one of Asti’s most ancient ‘ventine’, the traditional name for the hamlets that surround the town. Today, it is also one of Asti’s most prized residential areas. Castiglione is a lively place, holding many fairs and festivals, such as the historical ‘fagiolata’ (bean feast) on 2nd January or the tradition of ‘Canté J’Euv’ (singing for eggs) held before Easter where singers pass from farm to farm singing for a gift of eggs, food and – of course – wine.
