A beautiful castle complex and two churches, set against a panoramic backdrop of the Asti hills.

It rises in Astesana, in the tourist area called "Le Colline dei Fiumi", on the watershed of the Tanaro and Borbore rivers, controlling the important ridge line that connected Asti to Roero.

Very well cared for church.

The small town of Barbaresco is famous for being the place of origin of the wine of the same name. The municipality is part of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato area, which has been part of the UNESCO heritage since 2014.

It is also called the Tremlett church in honor of the British artist who repainted and embellished it taking inspiration from the colors of the Coazzolo hill. David Tremlett who also helped repaint the Barolo chapel in La Morra which attracts many tourists

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.

Country junction of several roads and therefore crucial for many of my tours in the area. From here you can reach Motta di Costigliole, Govone, San Damiano, Antignano and Celle Enomondo.

The castle of Costigliole d'Asti, built in medieval times and subject to restoration over the centuries, is an important stage in the "Castelli Aperti" circuit of Lower Piedmont. In 1041, Arrigo III officially conferred possession on the Church of Asti. Subsequently, the castle passed under the authority of Bonifacio del Vasto. In 1198, it was Asti that took possession of the castle, establishing statutory regulations. Built on top of the Costigliole fortress, this mighty quadrangular castle, with a base of 60 meters on each side and a height of 25 meters, is one of the grandest in the Asti area.
