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.

The castle, configured in a single and imposing square volume, reveals evident architectural stylistic differences, originating from the layout choices undertaken in the 17th century by the legitimate owners. Starting from 1625, the Asinari nobles shared the rank of "counts of Costigliole" with the noble Verasis family. This complex was therefore divided between two feudal lords, who, with autonomous determination, gave rise to transformations and embellishments on subjective bases. The northern part of the manor, pertaining to the Asinari, retains the appearance derived from the interventions of the second half of the eighteenth century, duly inspired by the architectural canons propagated by Benedetto Alfieri. At the same time, the external aspect of the southern part, pertaining to the Verasis, constitutes an interesting example of neo-medieval stylistic re-proposition, dating back to the first decades of the 19th century.

A short or longer stop at the Vino Enobottega on the Piazza Umberto is worthwhile. Great wine selection and non-alcoholic refreshments too. The place is still untouched by tourists and invites you to linger. Worth a detour.
