Agriturism Rupestr

On the hills of Canelli, between Langa and Monferrato (in the Asti area), the Rupestr Farm (2,2 hectares mainly covered by vineyards) offers a pleasant accommodation, traditional local cuisine and  exquisite hospitality.
The farm, owned by Giorgio Cirio (in the picture, on the left, with the presenters of the well known Italian TV   show ‘La vecchia fattoria’, a title borrowed from the world-known song ‘Old McDonald has a Farm’), enjoys a lovely scenic position on the road that from Canelli leads to Loazzolo. When the sky is clear, the imposing sight of the Alps is visible framed by the large dining room windows. This seats 60 people and is rigorously decorated in Piedmontese style with antique cotto flooring.
The vineyards produce strong Dolcetto and fragrant Moscato. The bottles produced satisfy the needs of ‘Agritourism’. This is a unique Italian brand of ecotourism, which rediscovers the countryside and its typical local products.
The vegetable grown on the Rupestr Farm are beautifully preserved in jars: dry tomatoes with genuine ‘green’ (parsley-based) sauce, pickled courgettes, aubergines and artichokes, as well as hazelnuts, sweet fruit mustard, peach, pear, cherry, apple, quinces and pumpkin preserves and jams.
In the restaurant a delicious range of traditional local dished are prepared by Mrs Cristina, Giorgio’s mother including Bagna Cauda (a garlic and anchovies dip served with mixed raw vegetables), Agnolotti ‘Al Plin’ (small handmade Ravioli), Piedmontese Mixed Fried Dish (anything you can think of coated in golden breadcrumbs), Finanziera (entrails stew with sweet and sour vegetables), Polenta with its juicy relishes and Gran Bollito Misto (a selection of fine meats with unusual dips).

A fireplace, earnest wine and Giorgio’s homely and warm hospitality will create an atmosphere of a time long gone.
Giorgio Cirio will offer you comfortable and simple rooms in a light and cheerful surrounding,   created with antique materials according to tradition.

Peasant Hospitality

I simply use my products and those of other producers in the surroundings, grown organically following natural methods, with all the necessary time to produce high quality foodstuff. Generally, I use different products and I create the menus I propose depending on products availability and I don’t leave the clients much choice. Living on the land I can choose seasonal products, instead of following trends. This reduces costs, which are normally part of the mar- ket and allows me to maintain reasonable prices and high quality products.
