About Asti
Asti is a city on the Tanaro plain, around 55 km east of Turin, once known for its many towers. A few survive, including the Torre Troyana, which can be climbed at weekends, and the Torre Rossa, the oldest. The cathedral is one of the largest in Piedmont. September is the town's big month: the Festival of Festivals brings food and wine from across the province, the Douja d'Or wine competition runs between it and the race, and the Palio, a bareback horse race in Piazza Alfieri, closes the run. The city is the centre for Asti sparkling wine and Moscato d'Asti, and Barbera is the local red. Markets run on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The homes are scattered around the city and its hills, most with a garden and over half with a pool, and many sleep six or more.

When to go to Asti
September is the busiest and most colourful month, with the Festival of Festivals, the Douja d'Or and the Palio, so book early. A Carolingian market runs each May, and a truffle fair is held in mid-November. Summer suits the pool, while autumn is for wine, truffles and the harvest landscape.

Asti villa holidays: questions answered
When is the Palio di Asti?
Each September. The bareback horse race runs in Piazza Alfieri and is preceded by a medieval pageant through the old town. It is said to be the oldest recorded palio in Italy.
Is Asti a good base for the Langhe wine towns?
Reasonably. Barolo and Barbaresco are listed as nearby towns in the Langhe, but they are a separate wine district, so budget a full day by car. Asti itself sits in Moscato and Barbera country.
Can I reach Asti by train from Turin or Genoa?
Yes. Trains from Turin take about 30 minutes and from Genoa about an hour. Because many homes are in the surrounding hills, you will still need a car or a taxi from the station.
What is Asti famous for drinking?
Asti sparkling wine, made only from Moscato Bianco grapes and typically sweet and low in alcohol, along with Moscato d'Asti and the red Barbera. The Douja d'Or competition each September shows over 400 wines.
When is the truffle fair in Asti?
In mid-November, with wine and food stalls alongside the truffles. For the busiest food-and-wine weeks, though, September has the Festival of Festivals and the Palio, so book those dates well ahead.
