Wine tasting and MoC museum visit at Tenuta Il Capitolo

Tenuta Il Capitolo is an old country house on the Asti–Alessandria road, just before the hamlet of Quarto Inferiore on the eastern side of Asti. It now hosts events and tastings, and also MoC, the Museum of Capitolo. The museum shows objects found while the house was being restored, along with things that have belonged to it over the years. The tastings pour wines from the Garrone winery in Grana. In the standard version, which takes about two hours and costs €30, you hear about Garrone and taste three of its wines, then learn the story of the house over platters of local cheese and cold cuts. A 90-minute MoC version, also €30, opens with the museum's story and pours three wines with local products, bread and breadsticks. "Sip the Art" runs for three hours and costs €50. It adds a tour of the house and museum and a light lunch of Piedmontese dishes such as beef tartare, tajarin with butter and a house dessert, and it is for over-15s only. Book any of them through Winedering, or call the estate's tastings line.
