About Portacomaro
Portacomaro is a hill village of about 2,000 people at around 230 metres, 7 km north-east of Asti, with the hamlet of Migliandolo in the same comune. Its oldest part is the ricetto, a fortified enclosure with a defensive tower where villagers once stored goods and livestock and sheltered from raiding armies; the town hall now sits inside it. The Romanesque church of San Pietro, first recorded in 1130, keeps well-preserved frescoes in its apse. The Astigiano around it is gentle hill country known for Barbera, Grignolino and Freisa. The homes are spread around the village, and most sleep eight or more.
