Cherasco

Few cities in Piedmont have a history as closely tied to seventeenth-century European diplomacy as Cherasco. In 1631, agreements signed here helped end the War of the Mantuan Succession, giving this small town an enduring place in continental history. Cherasco occupies a raised site between the Tanaro and Stura di Demonte rivers, on the northern edge of the Langhe. Its rectilinear streets and fortified outline recall its medieval foundation, while the historic centre preserves arcaded streets and Baroque façades. The town is also associated with Piedmontese snail farming, a local tradition known well beyond the surrounding wine country.
