Castelnuovo Calcea, located in the heart of the Monferrato Astigiano, has ancient origins linked to the Ligurian Statielli, Celts, and Gauls, before Roman colonization (Castrum Novum ad Calcea). The medieval village, known for its castle, destroyed several times starting in 1155, was a fiefdom of the Marquises of Incisa, the Trotti family, and finally the Savoy family in 1735.

The town is very small, but packed with points of interest. The starting point is the castle, which occupies the summit; a beautiful masonry structure, it now houses the Regional Wine Shop. Opposite the castle is the Town Hall, and next to it is a rest area with benches, a fountain, and a lovely view of the Langhe. On the opposite side is the Church of Saints James and Christopher, a beautiful building of medieval origin, but completely rebuilt in the 17th century, with its façade subsequently remodeled in neoclassical style. Continuing downhill, you reach one of the town's ancient gates, which leads onto the provincial road. Slightly further away (and requiring some effort to find), the Church of the Holy Trinity, also from the 17th century, has a very simple façade (and a beautiful door on the side), and is unfortunately somewhat neglected. The entire tour takes little time, but is worth the detour. Near the town gate, a restaurant also offers a chance to combine gastronomy and culture.

Former chapel/church, now an ACLI club. It is located at a crossroads between the road to/from Mango and the road to Camo.

Neive is a splendid village located in the Western Langhe between Barbaresco and Castiglione delle Lanze, just over 10 km from Alba in the direction of Asti.
