Description

Immersed in the hills of Canelli, in the heart of the Unesco territory, a few hundred metres from the Gancia Castle, this property enjoys an enviable panoramic position in the midst of vineyards, while being only 5 minutes from the town centre. It is composed of 3 portions joined together but totally independent that overlook a courtyard of approximately 600 square metres. This situation allows for multiple uses, either as a large manor house or as a resort consisting of several flats. The oldest portion of the property, which was once connected to the adjacent church as a convent, needs renovation. The remaining portions inhabited by the current owners express in many details the care with which the renovation was conducted. The first underwent a radical intervention in 2007 with a total overhaul of all the systems and the roof, which was insulated. The choice of materials reveals a balance between elements of charm and tradition, such as the wooden beams in the living room and sleeping area and modern aspects such as the elegant stainless steel staircase, the practical porcelain stoneware floors, and the refined bathroom panelling. The large eat-in kitchen is particularly bright, while on the attic floor a small mezzanine leads to 2 bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. On the ground floor a storage room and a cellar complete this part of the property. The second portion was completely rebuilt at the end of the 1990s with a complete overhaul of all installations and the roof. On the ground floor a generously sized living room/living room/kitchen overlooks a porch that allows outdoor dining for much of the year. A spacious bathroom and laundry room complete the ground floor. An elegant wood and steel staircase leads to the first floor where the sleeping area consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. On the ground floor 2 cellar rooms complete this portion of the property.

Location: Canelli, Piedmont

Canelli is a small town of about 10,000 inhabitants, nestled in the heart of Monferrato. Together with Nizza Monferrato, it is the second most important centre in the province of Asti, both as a productive and cultural reality and in terms of number of inhabitants. In 2014, Canelli and the tradition of Asti Spumante, of which it is the fulcrum, were declared a Unesco World Heritage Site. Its territory, in fact, makes the surrounding landscape unmistakable, thanks to the expanses of vineyards tended and shaped over the decades by the work of farmers. And it is precisely in Canelli, with the processing of the Moscato Bianco vine, that the history of great Italian sparkling wines originated, achieved with the excellence of Asti Spumante wine. The architectural jewels of this fascinating wine-making world are the famous 'Underground Cathedrals', true masterpieces of engineering and oenological architecture; linked to world-famous historical brands such as Gancia, Coppo, Contratto and Bosca, these 'cathedrals' are marvellous cellars characterised by rooms with brick vaults without plaster that branch off into the tuff caves dug by man under the city, where millions of bottles, left to ferment at a constant temperature, take on the typical aromas and flavours of classic method sparkling wine. Canelli is also a convenient starting point for exploring the Langhe, Monferrato and Piedmont in general: it is half an hour from Alba and Asti, 20 minutes from Nizza Monferrato, 40 minutes from Acqui Terme and an hour from Turin. Many events are promoted throughout the year: the Siege of Canelli, a historical reconstruction of the famous siege to which the town was subjected in 1613, the San Martino Fair, the Truffle Fair, and the Palio of Asti, where Canelli competes with other towns in the area.
