Attractions
Rosignano Monferrato is set on the hills in the middle of the Monferrato Casalese area, not far from Turin, Milan and Genoa. Rosignano Monferrato welcomes you in any time of the year with amazing landscapes, art itineraries, excellent wines, typical food and high quality handicraft products.
The territory is part of the “Monferrato of the Infernot”, which is included in the “Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato” UNESCO World Heritage site. The “Infernots” are underground wine cellars dug in the “pietra da cantoni” (which is a particular type of rock), real works of art.
