Neviglie: Church, Wine and Circular Routes in the Hilly Landscape

Discover Neviglie According to Your Interests

Neviglie can be explored for an individually planned trip to Italy through three different interests: culture, wine, and activity in the hilly landscape. You can consider these focuses separately and plan your accommodation according to whether sightseeing, tastings, or circular routes should be the main focus of your stay. The specific points of interest range from the Church of San Giorgio to the paths in the Neviglie area.

San Giorgio and the Art in the Church

The Church of San Giorgio was built in the 15th century. It includes the Madonna Chapel, which Gian Gaspare dei Marchesi di Busca commissioned at the beginning of the 16th century. The church also houses a panel painting by Macrino d’Alba entitled “Lo sposalizio mistico di Santa Caterina di Alessandria”. Here, the building, the chapel, and the painting represent different cultural points of reference for you. In particular, the chronological sequence from the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century gives the church a clearly discernible historical dimension.

GoodWine Neviglie! and Rapalino Fratelli

The “GoodWine Neviglie!” event takes place every year in July in Neviglie. It includes guided tours of monuments and environmental sites. Rapalino Fratelli offers another way to experience wine and local production: the family-run agricultural business has been documented since the end of the 19th century. Its tasting room offers views of the Langhe hills on one side and views into the maturation rooms on the other. Rapalino Fratelli also offers wine tastings, sales, and tours of the winery. If you want to consider wine not only as a pleasure but also in connection with agricultural work, maturation rooms, and the landscape, you will find several suitable points of interest here.

“The Traveler” at the Viewpoint

“The Traveler” (“Il viaggiatore”) is a ship with a single large sail and a figurehead reminiscent of an animal’s head. The ship is located at a viewpoint overlooking the surrounding landscape. At this specific destination, both the ship’s unusual design and the expansive landscape view take center stage. You can include the viewpoint in your plans as an independent cultural and scenic highlight.

Circular Routes and Hills Around Neviglie

The Sentiero dei Bricchi di Neviglie forms a circular route starting at Bricco Neive from marked and unmarked sections of trail. In addition, two circular routes, each five or six kilometers long, run through the Neviglie area. They reach the summits of Bricco della Macchia and Bricco di San Michele; both are high hills in the Neviglie area. When planning your day, you can therefore first distinguish between the trail structure of the Sentiero dei Bricchi di Neviglie and the length of the two additional circular routes. The summit destinations also give the short routes specific landscape points toward which the trails are oriented.
