Near the village of Tigliole, few kilometers far from the city of Asti, surrounded by a beautiful hills panorama, “Bricco Gallo” Farm Holiday receives all the Nature and traditional cooking lovers, for a stay in the sign of tranquility. This farm has its historical heart in the Seventeenth-century “Cascina du Runc” and Granzino family manages it since several generations, combining the cereals and grapevine growing with the Piedmontese “Fassone” race ox breeding and the accommodating activity.

The Wines.

The favored exposition of this farm’s vineyards, the careful attention to the grapevines, the limited yield per hectare and the big love for the territory are the supporting principles of wine production in this small company. Among the high quality red wines here produced, you can find Barbera d’Asti, Grignolino d’Asti, Bonarda and Nebbiolo; among the white wines, Arneis and Cortese.

The livestock and the Butcher Shop.

The bovines farming is since forever a very important activity for this family, that nowadays owns more than 100 pure Fassone Race oxen, raised according to the tradition and the present European regulation at the same time. In full compliance with “from the ground to the table” philosophy, the several cuts of meat are here transformed to be sold in the farm’s store. Together with the beef, there are self-produced different kinds of salami, and honey and season specialties coming from the other near farms.

The Butcher Shop is open on Saturday (all day long) and on Sunday morning.
