An autumn weekend between Olivola and Cella Monte to discover the foliage and the Pietra da Cantoni.

Autumn in Monferrato.
The foliage of Monferrato is an experience not to be missed and then the fireplaces lit, a good glass of red and all the typical features of the area to discover starting from our village of Olivola. Do you know that one of the typical features of our area is the so-called «cantonal stone»? Many of the houses of Olivola with their blue shutters were built with these square blocks that in the local dialect are called, in fact, «canton».

This stone defines very well a specific area, just because its geological characteristics are so particular to be found only in the area of Monferrato Casalese and it is precisely this stone that has been excavated to realize the incredible infernot or worked for the construction of houses, palaces and churches in the area. Its use is lost in the folds of history and to discover it to the end you can go to the village of Cella Monte a few kilometers away from Olivola.

Monferrato is a land rich in experiences all year round, but autumn is even more fascinating, between historical routes and wine tourism has a lot to offer and to discover and if you want to try the most appropriate combination of this season we recommend the king of autumn: The truffle, try it with our Albarossa.
