Monferrato
Monferrato is a famous wine region in Piemonte in northern Italy in the provinces of Alessandria and Asti. It also has a strong literary tradition, including the 18th century Asti-born poet and dramatist Vittorio Alfieri and the Alessandrian Umberto Eco, writer of the famous “in the name of the rose” book.
The Tanaro river splits the area in two parts, the northern part has rolling hills and plains while the southern part has much more elevation towards the Apennines mountains.
Montferrat has been declared Unesco world heritage site in 2014.
Famous wines of the region are Barbera d’Asti, Asti spumante, Moscato d’Asti, Cortese, Malvasia and Grignolino. Also truffles are a well-known product of the area.
