We are waiting for you at Cascina Allegra to share with us the enchanment of Monferrato
Entering the Infernot of Cascina Allegra is taking a step back in time to be wrapped in the charm of the Pietra da Cantoni, limestone marl from marine sediments deposited million years ago that uniquely characterizes the soil of Basso Monferrato.
It is a touch of the mastery and passion of the ancient inhabitants of the place who have dug by hand, with hammer and chisel, the Pietra da Cantoni to create these surprising architectural works that can only be found here, in the Core Zone of the Unesco site "Il Monferrato degli Infernot"
In a similar way, a visit to the ancient oven of Cascina Allegra, built with squared blocks of Pietra da Cantoni, brings back the industrious and festive atmosphere of the historic local community, when the inhabitants of the farms around the village came here to bake their own bread.
Alongside the dive into the past, immersion in the present cannot be missing.
Sitting at the granite table in the shade of the gazebo in the courtyard, in front of a view that has no equal to the rolling hills of Monferrato Casalese, whit vineyards and other crops alternate with woods, in a relaxing rural setting respectful of agricultural biodiversity, a rural setting punctuated by the succession of bell towers that identify the churches of each of the countless villages that stand out against the background of the Alps and the Apennines: It is a surprising immersion in the nature of the place.
Sipping the wines in the light of the sunset and tasting the extra virgin olive oil of Cascina Allegra accompanied by suggested pairings and commented by Gigi, ONAV Master Wine Taster and EVO Oil Sommelier, is an evocative and unforgettable experience.
