Pino d'Asti is a village located in the Lower Monferrato area and is part of the local community of Alto Astigiano. It is nearly 30 Km away from both Turin and Asti. The little village is situated on the top of a tall hill (412m above the sea level) ideally positioned for a fantastic panoramic view of the region. The surrounding territory is mainly agricultural and is covered by woods. Pino d'Asti is famous for the production of excellent quality wines

On the top of the hill, surrounded by the houses of the village, stands the castle, in testimony of its glorious past. Visitors can admire the beautiful Church of the Madonna del Carmine and the adjacent baroque bell tower designed by Bernardo Vittone. Dotting the territories surrounding Pino d'Asti are many country chapels and aedicules, built by the inhabitants as a sign of their devotion.

Today, the ancient town oven is an accurate reconstruction of an old carpenter’s workshop and an authentic Museum of Wood and Carpenter Tools.

Other places of interest are: the 18th century Town Hall building, the church dedicated to San Francesco Saverio and San Grato, the chapel dedicated to San Rocco, and a medieval building called "Della Rosina", located close to the Castle. The territory of Alto Astigiano offers some of the best examples of medieval religious art. In this area, which can be easily reached either from Turin and Asti, visitors have the pleasure of admiring beautiful churches, large and small, all built with the typical red bricks and yellow tuff, encircled by stretches of vineyards where the best wines are produced. The largest and most famous among these building is the Canonica di Santa Maria di Vezzolano.

Castelnuovo Don Bosco, must not be missed. It is well known both for its famous wines and for the names of San Giovanni Bosco, the founder of the Opera Salesiana, san Giuseppe Cafasso, blessed Giuseppe Allamano, and san Domenico Savio e Cardinal Giovanni Cagliero. Their houses and homes offer an interesting insight into life during the 19th century.

In Moncucco, one can visit the Museum of Chalk and learn about this local resource how it was utilized during the pre-Industrial age.

Also not to be missed is a visit to the territory of Bottega del Vino.
