Asti
The Alfieri Hills Route
Along the Tanaro River to explore the Rocche cliffs, medieval hill towns, Baroque castles and fruit orchards
Take the road leading out of Asti in a south-westerly direction, then continue in the direction of Borbore and Abbazia degli Apostoli, alongside large ‘cascine’ farm houses and through little woods. You are now heading in the direction of the Tanaro river, passing alongside the greens of the ‘Città di Asti’ golf club. Continue in this direction, between the river and Corso Alba road, until you get to the little hamlet of Variglie, with its castle and, in the summer, a special local variety of peach called ‘pesca limonina’.
