 The Province of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont is about 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Turin and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northeast of Cuneo.

The region produces some stellar wines, including Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba an appellation from Piedmont made exclusively from Dolcetto grapes, native to the region. These ruby red wines will usually display fruity aromas of plums, berries, and cherries that are sometimes accompanied by spicy and floral notes.

Then…. there’s the Cheese of Cuneo, holy moly…..

The local & legendary Castelmagno cheese is amazing, and only produced in the Grana Valley since the early 1200s. It’s found only in the Piedmont’s province of Cuneo; Castelmagno is a semi-hard blue cheese with a crumbly texture, made from cow’s milk and sometimes a small addition of sheep’s and goat’s milk. 

There’s also an abundance of nut production in Cuneo, including Castagna Cuneo, a lovely chestnut only cultivated in the numerous valleys surrounding the town of Cuneo, where origins of some of the oldest chestnut orchards can be traced back to the 16th century when the royal House of Savoy kept written annual harvest records about the quantity and characteristics of these prized nuts. 

Last but hardly least there is the almighty Truffle….While Cúneo boasts many hidden culinary treasures, the truffle is the jewel in the crown. Piedmont’s white truffles are unique in the world, and much sought after by international chefs. In the 18th century, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, the French jurist and author of the first treatise on gastronomy, “The Philosophy of Taste”, defined this ingredient as the “diamond of gastronomy”. 

Specially trained dogs are used to hunt and harvest truffles near the tree’s roots. Though they usually grow among the roots of oak trees, it is not uncommon to find them near willows and walnut trees. Legends abound about the origin of the white truffle. Some believe that truffles grow on frosty, moonlit nights, when the light filters through the cold, wet ground to the roots. Others think that they grow near the roots of trees struck by lightning.

There’s your own internal courtyard to turn into your private outdoor oasis on those hot summer nights. 

It’s set over 3 floors, from the ground up set in the lovely historic center of Farigliano.

It’s a period townhouse building with the units one atop the other, connected by an interior stairwell. There are loads of cool architectural details to be restored from the period.
