Baglio: Viticulture, Landscapes and Regional Products

When planning a trip to Baglio, viticulture, regional products and routes shaped by the landscape are the central themes. They range from work in the vineyards to products from agriculture and crafts. This allows you to tailor your stay according to whether you want to focus on regional flavors, rural cultural landscapes or drives through vineyards and villages.

Vineyards and agricultural diversity

The Tenuta Foresto estate covers approximately 8 hectares, including 6 hectares of vineyards. The remaining areas are wooded and surround the entire vineyard. For your travel planning, this means that viticulture can be viewed as part of a rural landscape enclosed by woodland.

Azienda Agricola xSbaglio includes hazelnut groves, orchards, a vegetable garden, vineyards and olive trees. Its agricultural profile therefore encompasses various forms of cultivation and combines viticulture with fruit, vegetables, nuts and olives. Azienda Agricola xSbaglio also keeps bees and produces honey.

Traditional recipes and special products

Since 2022, Laboratorio xSbaglio has been producing compotes, preserves and torrone according to recipes handed down from previous generations. For travelers interested in culinary experiences, the appeal lies in the combination of preserved products and passed-down recipe knowledge. Azienda Agricola xSbaglio also offers a 75-cl bottle of extra virgin olive oil made from olives collected in the Monferrato area. Azienda Agricola xSbaglio also offers handcrafted saffron in a 1-gram format.

Viticulture in different forms

Marco Pesce Vigneti&Cantina has a contiguous 15-hectare vineyard in which the winery is located. The winery is therefore not next to a vineyard, but inside one—an aspect of the site that vividly illustrates the agricultural character of this operation. Together with the vineyards and agricultural areas of other businesses, this creates a diverse approach to the subject of wine.

Routes through vineyards and villages

The Strada del Nizza is a 53-kilometer circular route through vineyards, old villages and protected areas; it begins in Nizza Monferrato. The Strada Baglio runs from Gianola toward Nizza via San Michele and through Barbera vineyards. This results in two different route profiles for travel planning: a circular route with landscape and village connections, and a route whose direction is given from Gianola to Nizza. If you organize excursions by landscape character and the villages they pass through, these two routes offer different starting points.

Practical accommodation perspective

For accommodation planning in Baglio, CA' SINOIRA offers breakfast, parking, a garden and bicycle storage. This adds a practical aspect to wine, agriculture and routes.
