Canelli, Wine town in Province of Asti, Italy
Located along the Belbo River in Piedmont, Canelli extends across hills covered with Moscato vineyards at an elevation of 157 meters.
The settlement transformed from prehistoric Ligurian tribes to a Roman center, later joining the Republic of Asti in 1235 and surviving a siege in 1613.
The Underground Cathedrals of Canelli store millions of wine bottles in tunnels that stretch 20 kilometers beneath the medieval streets.
Visitors can access guided tours of historic wineries including Bosca, Coppo, Contratto, and Gancia, with wine tastings and traditional Piedmontese lunch options.
Carlo Gancia created the first Italian Spumante in Canelli during 1865, establishing the town as the national capital of sparkling wine production.
