Monteu Roero


The town of Monteu Roero is part of the lands which are called Roero because they are related to the homonymous family asti that rich to coat and Finance, characterized the politics and economics of the Middle Ages in the territories included between the hills of the left bank of the river Tanaro. Even today the confines of this micro-region are determined by an imperial document that uses the distant year of 901. The feud Monteu Roero passed by inheritance to several generations of families Biandrate and Roero, until, July 3, 1784, was given to Vittorio Amedeo III.

The landscape of the municipality of Monteu Roero, the more fragmented the whole area, quickly switch the primitive beauty of the rocks, the colors of the forest and winding rows of vines that decorate the sunny hillside offering the visitor scenic views and glimpses magnificent.

The municipal entity, in close collaboration with the Tourism Department, the Department of the school, the Civil Defence Volunteers Montecautese Group and producers of typical products, has completed the restoration of ancient routes that from the heart of the village wind through the "path" to reach the rocks, farms and churches that dot the Roero. 6 In particular, the "trails" already passable by hikers and horseback or mountain bike: the path of "Grande Rocca", the path of the woods and lake Valunga; the path of Levante and Arneis;
the path of the "Fossa dei Cinghiali" and the great path "S.1" between Bra and Cisterna d'Asti; path "Castagna Granda". In particular, the last in chronological order to be reopened is precisely the path of Chestnut Granda departs from the main square of Monteu to continue on the road first of chestnut and then descend into the valley between Monteu and Montaldo and up to the shade of a chestnut over 400 of life, which seems to be the oldest specimen of the species across Europe. Each trail the visitor many opportunities to wonder environments and landscapes are truly unique, finding time to time: ancient churches, like St. Pietro in Novelle, custodians of important works of art, buildings suspended between history and legend, as the Castle Monteu stayed where in 1167 Frederico I of Svevia better known as Frederico the Barbarossa, woods of chestnut and oak trees where some scholars believe is still hidden treasure, booty of some Spaniards retreating from Monferrato fortresses, whose wildness feeding suggestions and legends related to their creation by Belzebù and acquaintances of witches, although in reality it is an incredible erosion, paradise for naturalists and geologists, the native vines of Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo, from which born of the DOC and DOCG valuable productions of the historical cellars of the Roero.

The hyphen between the landscape, the land and its fruits is the festival "Il Ponte dei Sapori," a title metaphorically representing the two faces, the landscape and the rural traditions of Monteu Roero by preparing the recipes premises, during the year preceding the upcoming harvest, the end of August. Early clusters of Arne and the first "Castagne della Madonna" decorate tables laid with dishes that radiate scents and tastes very authentic and inviting.

The event, already presented in other municipalities in the Roero is flanked by the "Vineria del Ponte dei Sapori" with proposals for simple dishes and good-based products combined with selected wines served by the same manufacturer, in an atmosphere of jovial conviviality.
