Calosso - 400 meters between sky and vineyards
Calosso is a village of just over a thousand inhabitants perched on the hills of Astesana, at an altitude of 400 meters, on the border between the municipalities of Canelli, Santo Stefano Belbo, Costigliole d'Asti and Agliano Terme. A suspended place, where time seems to be marked by the rhythm of the seasons and the care of the vineyards.
The village is dominated by a castle built in the High Middle Ages, just before the year 1000, and by the church of San Martino, a Baroque building from the late 17th century. The narrow streets, the crotin, the characteristic cellars dug into the tuff and the panoramic views compose a landscape that does not change.
In the third weekend of October, the Fiera dei Rapulé animates the village with a unique itinerant food and wine event: in the residents' houses it is possible to taste the typical dish of the late harvest and taste the wines of the territory.
