In an area renowned for its truffles and fine wines, an hour south of Turin and with the city of Alba close by, the architect Graham Cooke has created this little gem amongst the vineyards, in charming natural surroundings. The nine-hole golf course, PAR 31, unwinds through vineyards and both new players and more experienced ones will find the course challenging. Greens are quick and golfers who want to finish within the course PAR need to be focused and measure their strikes. The course is hilly and the slopes between tees and greens create quite a scenic effect. The golf course has recently re-opened after having gone under major improvement works: greens and fairways have been replanted using eco-friendly techniques in order to achieve the best result with hardly any impact on the environment. The project is being followed by the University of Milan, which has already successfully experimented this type of intervention in other golf courses producing and maintaining a lawn in perfect conditions without altering in any way the soil. Monforte d'Alba: an early Middle Age walled town which belonged first to the domain of Marchesi del Carretto and then of Marchesi Scarampi. Monforte can boast very ancient origins, traces of Neolithic and Roman time settlements have been found in this area. Monforte owes its name to the castle surrounded by walls ("fortis") that was built during the Middle Ages on the top of the hill ("mons"). It was taken by force by the army of the Archbishop of Milan, in 1028, in order to crush the Catharist ideology that had spread in this area and had involved the feudal lords. During the 13th century, Monforte became first a Fee of the Marchesi Del Carretto, and later a Fee of the Marchesi Scarampi del Cairo. In 1703 it was conquered by the troops of the House of Savoy and became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The village maintains untouched its old charm in the narrow cobblestone streets that lead to castle and the Auditorium on the top of the hill.
Alba: World known capital of the white truffle, it holds every year an international show centered on the whote truffle that last a month (from the beginning of October until the beginning of November) |
