Follow me in this guide to visit Casale Monferrato at its best and discover all the ancient flavours of this Piedmontese town!   The city of Casale Monferrato is located, as its name suggests, in Monferrato, a hilly region including the provinces of Alessandria and Asti. Here its inhabitants (the “Casalesi”) can admire every day the majesty of the river Po (the longest Italian river), which cuts the town in two. This land, with its centuries-old flavours and traditions, has been included, together with the Langhe and Roero, in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In fact, it is world-famous for being one of Italy's major wine regions, known for its red wines and sparkling wines. In addition to this important recognition, the city is also known for being the capital of the DOC, or rather, its birthplace: it was here that, in 1963, all the legislative proposals aimed at protecting typical wines (later called Denominazione d'Origine Controllata) began. Finally, this land is also rich in several De.Co, the Denominazioni Comunali (municipal denominations), including the famous Krumiri biscuits, Agnolotti pasta and giardiniera (chopped vegetables boiled in water and vinegar).
