Food and wine and typical products.

Excellence all coazzolese is the cougnà, mustard made from grape must.

To be seen.

The town is dominated by its ancient castle.

Also, worth seeing are the parish Church of St. Siro (Chiesa di San Siro) and the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel (Chiesa della Santissima Vergine del Carmine), made famous by the wall drawing by the artist David Tremlett.

Privileged panoramic points of the area are the Natural Amphitheatre, the Giant Blue Bench, and the Pastels Vineyard (Vigna dei Pastelli), an artistic installation in the vineyard with rows of giant pencils.

Furthermore, at the entrance to the Amphitheatre, there is a Land Art with vine branches.

Curiosity.

During the Fascist period, the municipality of Coazzolo was merged with Castagnole delle Lanze, at the time in the province of Alessandria.

It was only after the fall of the regime that the two municipalities regained their autonomy.
