Moncalvo

We spent our Sunday at a local festival in the small town of Moncalvo in the hills north of Asti.

Of course, after our drive, search for parking, and climb up the hill to the main piazza, we needed a morning pick-me-up. We paid about $8 for our drinks; the munchies are included. Perfectly civilized.

The festival included local crafts and 14 food vendors representing local communities. The entertainment included majorettes and flag choreography. Very entertaining.

Excellent food, as you would expect to find at a local food festival. For example, risotto made with Barolo wine and fried zucchini flowers:

Mike found a local wine, Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato, to be quite good.
