About Castagnole Monferrato
Castagnole Monferrato is a small hill comune of around 1,300 people at 232 metres, about 11 km north-east of Asti and 50 km east of Turin. Its name is on the label of Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato, a red made from at least 90 per cent Ruché grapes on about 40 hectares of vines spread over seven villages. For most of its history the grape was grown in relative obscurity, until the parish priest Giacomo Cauda and the mayor Lidia Bianco pushed its revival from the late 1970s. The wine gained DOC status in 1987 and was later raised to DOCG. The homes are near the village, most with a private pool and garden, and suit two to six people.

- Best for
- Couples and small families on a Ruché wine trip
- Not for you if

Is Castagnole Monferrato good for families?
For small families, yes. Most homes here have a private pool and a garden, and they sleep between two and six, but check each listing. Larger groups would need two homes, and children wanting things to do will rely on the car.
