Vaglio Serra

Vaglio Serra: in the “quadrilateral of the four A” the pearl protected by the woods.

Vaglio Serra lies in the southern Astigiano.

It is about 26 km from Asti, the provincial capital.

Historians believe that the first settlement in the area, a Ligurians tribe, can be traced back to the year 118.

The town was among the possessions of the Marquisate of Incisa and the Municipality of Asti.

It later passed to the Marquisate of Monferrato and then reverted to the Incisa family and the Municipality of Asti.

Important is the wine production.

The wines of the area are Barbera d'Asti, Moscato d'Asti and Asti Spumante.

An opportunity to taste them is the Sagra delle Scorte di San Martino.

The Castle of Vaglio Serra (or Stella) dating back to the eighteenth century, is now used as a vacation home and wedding venue.

For outdoor lovers, there is also the panoramic point offered by the Barbera Terrace and the Yews Garden (Giardino dei tassi).

Precious ancient plants dwell in the roof garden of the Municipal Palace.
