サントステファノベルボのおすすめランニングルート

The climb that leads from Canelli to Gancia castle passes through splendid vines. This climb is steep at times and was tackled by the 2023 Giro d'Italia women. The Gancia castle is currently a private villa and cannot be visited: on the other hand, the panoramic views are magnificent.

Canelli is a Piedmontese municipality of 10,000 inhabitants. This town is famous for being the so-called capital of Asti sparkling wine. Canelli is part of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato wine-growing landscape: this territory has been part of the UNESCO heritage since 2014.

Canelli is a town in the province of Asti. The locality is famous for its wine production, in particular for the renowned sweet sparkling wine called Moscato d'Asti. A further distinctive feature consists of the underground cellars, created by carving the tuff rock, which serve for the purpose of preserving and aging the precious nectar. The historical and cultural heritage of Canelli is of considerable importance, with numerous churches, castles and museums that masterfully illustrate the legacy of this territory.

The Sternia is a unique road of its kind located in Canelli, a town in the province of Asti Italy. This pedestrian stretch of road originates from Piazza San Tommaso and extends to the top of the hill where you will find the imposing Castello Gancia. But there is much more to discover: the Sternia is also known as "Street of Lovers", a loving tribute to Raymond Peynet, the talented French illustrator who created "Les Amoureux", a series which has captured the hearts of many. His works have inspired numerous artists to create installations along this street, making it even more fascinating. It represents one of the historical traits of Canelli that unites the souls of "Borgo" and "Villanuova". The latter is the oldest nucleus of Canelli and is still dominated today by its imposing castle, Castello Gancia. The Sternia is a paved road reserved for pedestrians, a fascinating path that winds along the hill through the medieval part of the town. You will reach Piazza San Leonardo, an enchanting place that houses the Church of San Rocco and the Church of San Leonardo. From here, the road continues its ascent until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now the magnificent Gancia Castle.

Nice place, nice ice cream!

First passage for me from this country that gave me the surprise of a Sunday antiques market. A small but well-kept town.

Canelli, the capital of Asti Spumante. From here it is possible to explore the city and its surroundings on various tours. Do not miss a visit to the underground cathedrals where the Spumante is kept.

The tower dates back to the X-XII century. and is privately owned. The tower was built in stone and has a rectangular shape. The dimensions are: sides 9 x 7 x h 26 m. The site is not accessible because it is privately owned.
