Nizza Monferrato

Nizza Monferrato sits at an elevation of 138 meters above sea level, surrounded by extensive vineyards and crossed by the Belbo river.

Founded in 1225 around the Abbey of San Giovanni in Lanero, the town received its comune status in 1235 following the destruction of nearby castles.

The town maintains traditional wine production methods, specializing in Barbera grapes within the protected Langhe-Roero and Monferrato vineyard landscape.

The Foro Boario cultural center, renovated in 2008, provides space for exhibitions, events, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Palazzo Crova, an 18th-century noble residence, now houses a regional wine center, library, and restaurant dedicated to local gastronomy.
