The woods awaken, the sandy cliffs are tinged with fresh green and the canyons open up to unexpected views.<\/p>\n<p>Here you can find over 250 km of trails, suitable for all levels, from family walks to challenging treks. The <strong>Sentiero dell\u2019Acino<\/strong> trail winds through vineyards and orchards with sweeping views of the Langhe. The &#8216;<strong>Notturni nelle Rocche&#8217; <\/strong>events, evening walks through the Rocche with live entertainment, begin in June.<\/p>\n<p>The Rocche can also be explored by <strong>MTB and e-bike<\/strong>: in spring the trails are cool, the leaves start sprouting on the trees and the views through the crisp, fresh air are breathtaking. The <strong>Valle delle Rocche Outdoor Centre in Mont\u00e0<\/strong> rents bikes and offers guided tours of the area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bikers-1198.jpg\" alt=\"bikers in Roero\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ponchietta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bikers-1198.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.ponchietta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bikers-1198-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.ponchietta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bikers-1198-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ponchietta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bikers-1198-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ponchietta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bikers-1198-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"etichetta\">Food and Wine<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wines and wineries in the Roero<\/h2>\n<p>The &#8216;<strong>Open Cellar Doors&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0initiative brings the season to life on three occasions: at Easter, during the Vinum event in Alba, and on Republic Day. These are excellent opportunities to visit the cellars, meet the producers and discover the region\u2019s wines.<\/p>\n<p>Roero is the land of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Arneis. Arneis, a native grape variety of Roero, is a fresh and fragrant white wine that best captures the essence of this season, perfect with local cured meats and cheeses.<\/p>\n<p>The wines we produce on the estate are <strong>Langhe Nebbiolo DOC<\/strong>, <strong>Piemonte Barbera DOC<\/strong> and <strong>Caio<\/strong>, made from Brachetto grapes. If you\u2019d like to visit our winery and discover our wines, we can arrange a tasting tour on request.<\/p>\n<p>In spring, the region comes to life at the table as well. The first <strong>Roero asparagus<\/strong> appear in the markets as early as April: tender and with a delicate flavour, it\u2019s one of the region\u2019s most prized crops. In late spring, the <strong>strawberries from Sommariva Perno<\/strong> make their entrance; recognised as a typical local produce, they are small, fragrant, and best eaten straight from the plant.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter dividi\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/cascina\/images\/farfalla.svg\" alt=\"divisore\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"etichetta\">Culture and History<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Towns and castles waiting to be discovered<\/h2>\n<p>The Roero region is dotted with medieval towns perched on the hills, often dominated by castles and towers that bear witness to centuries of history. With the air still cool and the golden afternoon light bathing the landscape, they are the perfect place for a leisurely stroll.<\/p>\n<p>Guarene, awarded the Touring Club\u2019s Orange Flag and ranked among Italy\u2019s most beautiful villages, offers a panoramic view of the hills and the River Tanaro. Govone, with its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Castle, opens its gardens in spring to the sight of wild tulips in bloom. Monticello d\u2019Alba, Magliano Alfieri, Santo Stefano Roero: every town has its own history, its own church, its own castle.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in nature and art, the &#8216;<strong>Sentieri dei Frescanti&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0reopens at the beginning of May. It\u2019s a trail that connects the country churches and chapels nestled between hills and vineyards across nine municipalities in the Roero, each one displaying frescoes dating from the 15th to the 18th centuries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Frescanti_vezzadalba_0008_credits_Treevision.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"etichetta\">Traditions ad Events<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Spring events in Roero<\/h2>\n<p>Spring brings with it a calendar of events rooted in local tradition.
