Under the streets of Canelli run kilometres of tunnels carved into the tuff: the Underground Cathedrals, a UNESCO heritage site, where the sparkling wine that made history rests. Above, a bustling town at the foot of the Moscato hills, offering one of the best work-services-prices balances in the whole of Southern Piedmont.
A real economy
Canelli doesn't live on tourism alone: the oenomechanical industry provides jobs throughout the valley, keeping the town alive and its services open. Apartments in the centre between 60 and 120,000 euros, houses with courtyards along the historic streets beneath the Sternia, and the Moscato ridges of Calosso, Santo Stefano Belbo and Coazzolo just ten minutes away.
The happy border
Canelli sits where Monferrato meets the Langhe: Alba, Nizza and Acqui are all less than half an hour away. For those who don't want to choose between areas, it's the strategic sweet spot — with prices that the Alba side left behind long ago.
