Si parte dal punto di noleggio Bike Square di Faenza e si attraversa il centro abitato caratterizzato dalla bella piazza e dai molti edifici neoclassici. Adagiata ai piedi dell'Appennino, Faenza si presta benissimo come base per escursioni sulle prime colline. Una bella strada subito fuori l'abitiato di Faenza porta nella valle del Senio con le sue viste sui vigneti e i coltivi. Iniziamo a salire lungo le pendici di Monte Rontana godendo appieno delle vedute spettacolari sui calanchi pliocenici del Parco della Vena del Gesso Romagnola. Il percorso continua in quota fino alle vecchie cave di gesso di Brisighella, ora parco attrezzato, e alla Rocca dei Veneziani, fortificazione del 1310 voluta dai Manfredi signori di Faenza. Una breve discesa ci porta a Brisighella, uno dei borghi piu' belli d'Italia, ideale per una sosta e una visita alla rinomata strada degli asini. Una breve deviazione porta alla Pieve del Tho, spendido esempio di architettura romanica.

Starting from Novello
The e-bike route starts in Novello and descends along the beautiful Ravera road to Monforte d'Alba.
The Ravera is my favourite road, a long descent that shows the hills of the Langhe and allows you to see Monforte, Barolo and Novello in the foreground and many other castles and villages in the background.
You arrive in the centre of Monforte d'Alba
The centre of Monforte is always a pleasant surprise. On the square on the floor you will find many small bars where you can have an aperitif or an ice cream, but I recommend you climb up to the top of the old town to enjoy the view, see the amphitheatre (home of Monforte Jazz) and if you want to pop over to the giant bench.
Pass through the hamlet of San Sebastiano
From Monforte take the road towards Dogliani. Don't miss a stop at the Briacca, a nice winery that also organises picnics and tastings.
The highlight of the route, however, is the road along the coast that takes you to the hamlet of San Sebastiano (full of fantastic views, old farmsteads, small churches, in short the Langa as it once was) and on to Monchiero.
The old Bra Ceva railway
When you reach Monchiero close your eyes for 2 minutes (the view is horrible, you are in the midst of factories), but once you have crossed the railway bridge you can enter the old Bra-Ceva railway track, recently cleared of brambles and which allows you to avoid the ugly provincial road to reach the Bivio per Novello.
If you want to know more about bra-ceva, there is an interesting site you can explore [https://www.ferrovieabbandonate.it/linea_dismessa.php?id=9].
The ascent to Novello via Bricco Neri

E-bike cycling tour to discover the UNESCO landscapes of Langhe-Roero
This tour doesn't require using a car to reach the starting point; in fact, arriving by train at Santa Vittoria D'Alba railway station is the best way to visit the wild nature of Roero in a day. If you wish to pick up the e-bike directly at the station, you need to request the bike pickup when booking your rental, indicating the train arrival time. The tour is circular; if you're staying in the area, you can also start directly from the bike rental point in Corneliano D'Alba.
Santa Vittoria d'Alba
The self-guided e-bike tour starts from Santa Vittoria D'Alba railway station; arriving by train combined with e-bike allows for an easy visit of Langhe-Roero in a day. Let's go!
On the e-bike, you climb effortlessly to the historic center of Santa Vittoria D'Alba. The imposing castle of the Roero family, an ancient and noble family, dominates the historic center of the village perched on the hill. From the top of the Upper Village, you can enjoy a wonderful panorama of the surrounding hills; the view is dominated by the villages of Verduno and Roddi, and looking down, you can admire the flow of the Tanaro River.
Monticello d'Alba
Leaving Santa Vittoria d'Alba, the bike route winds through secondary roads immersed in vineyards. The route is characterized by ups and downs, sometimes gentle, sometimes more challenging, but with e-bikes, it's possible to tackle even the more demanding sections with ease. The second village you encounter during the ride is Monticello D'Alba, dominated by its imposing castle dating back to the 13th century. The Roero Castle of Monticello is one of the best-preserved fortifications in the area and absolutely deserves a guided tour. In the ancient village, you can discover artisan shops that produce typical products like "tajarin," thin hand-cut egg pasta, and chestnut honey with an intense and slightly bitter flavor. For a gastronomic stop, local trattorias offer traditional dishes such as agnolotti del plin, small ravioli filled with meat, and rabbit with Roero Arneis wine.
Corneliano d'Alba
The surprises of Roero are not over; on the bike, you pedal on secondary roads through Nebbiolo and Arneis vineyards. This first section is characterized by gentle ups and downs that allow you to admire the panorama alternating between vineyards, hazelnut groves, and the first orchards start to appear. The ride arrives in one of the heart villages of Roero, Corneliano d'Alba, a village that preserves important testimonies of its medieval past. Of particular interest is the 12th-century Tower, 22 meters high, which dominates the town and represents one of the symbols of the village. The 15th-century Church of San Bernardino with its Renaissance frescoes is also worth a stop. Corneliano d'Alba is also famous for the production of fine wines, strawberries, peaches, and Madernassa pears. Corneliano D'Alba is the ideal place for a delicious break, perhaps tasting the "stuffed peach," a typical dessert prepared with peaches filled with amaretti and cocoa, or the "hazelnut cake," prepared with the famous Piedmont IGP hazelnuts. In autumn, don't miss the opportunity to buy white truffles from local "trifolau" (truffle hunters). Corneliano d'Alba also hosts several wineries where you can taste Roero Arneis DOCG and Roero DOCG. Slightly outside the town center, in a super panoramic position, we find the Big Bench #348 blue and red, belonging to the Big Bench Community Project.
Monteu Roero
After the stop at the Big Bench of Corneliano D'Alba, you get back on the bike, following the route on the app, pedaling towards Monteu Roero. This section presents some more challenging ups and downs, with a significant climb towards the village of Monteu Roero. Don't worry, the e-bike will make this section easier, and where needed, you can increase the assistance! Observing the landscape, you notice a progressive change; vineyards give way to chestnut woods and the characteristic "Rocche," unique geological formations created by erosion that characterize the Roero territory. Along the way, you cross small hamlets and can admire numerous country chapels, testimony to popular religiosity. About halfway, a detour is recommended to visit the Sanctuary of Piloni, a devotional complex consisting of fifteen votive pillars representing the mysteries of the rosary. Arriving in Monteu Roero, one of the most picturesque villages in the area, you are welcomed by the majestic medieval castle that dominates from above. The historic center, with its narrow alleys and stone houses, preserves the charm of the past. Don't miss the Church of San Nicolao with its Romanesque bell tower and the walk to the Belvedere, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Rocche del Roero and, on clearer days, the Alpine chain. Monteu Roero is famous for the production of strawberries and small fruits, used to prepare artisanal jams and liqueurs. In local restaurants, you can taste the "brasato al Roero," beef marinated and slowly cooked in local red wine, accompanied by "otto file" corn polenta, an ancient variety grown in the area.
Sommariva Perno
The last stretch of the e-bike route connects Monteu Roero to Sommariva Perno. This part of the itinerary is particularly evocative as it runs alongside the Rocche del Roero for a good stretch, canyons and gorges formed over thousands of years. The landscape is an alternation of woods, orchards, and small cultivated plots, with the strawberry being the queen among all fruits, finding its capital in Sommariva Perno. During the route, you cross the hamlet of Valle Rossi, where you can take a break at one of the numerous agritourism farms in the area to taste typical local products such as cheeses, cured meats, fresh pasta, local wines, and strawberries, excellent for a healthy and sweet break. Continuing the journey, you finally reach the village of Sommariva Perno, which stands on a hill, the last village of the circular e-bike tour. The historic center is dominated by the Castle of Bela Rosin (a FAI heart place), a nineteenth-century residence that belonged to Rosa Vercellana, subject of countless gossip at the court of Victor Emmanuel II. Around the castle extends a large forest park, ideal for a relaxing break at the end of the route. Also worth a visit are the Church of Santo Spirito, with its neoclassical facade, and the Hermitage of Tavoletto, an ancient religious complex immersed in greenery. The route concludes with the last stretch and arrival at Santa Vittoria D'Alba station.

A track designed to touch one of the most famous points of Monferrato: the “Torre dei Contini”, a panoramic point of extreme charm.
Treat yourself to a visit to this beautiful site and climb to the top of the tower to enjoy a 360 degree view of the surrounding landscapes.
How to visit Nizza Monferrato:
Nizza is the most important agricultural and commercial center located in the heart of Monferrato area, one of the most famous Italian places of wine production in the world, especially as regards red wines. UNESCO World Heritage Site for its landscape assets and for the Barbera and Nizza DOCG wines, it is the most important center of the province and of the Belbo Valley.
In Nizza it is worth taking a stroll through the streets of the center and stopping to admire the Campanon tower, in the town square, the oldest civic tower in the city, incorporated into the Town Hall.
The historic center is beautiful, full of typical bars and restaurants where you can taste the specialties of Nicese and Piedmontese cuisine based on Cardo Gobbo, a renowned local product.
There will certainly be the possibility of some amazing tasting of red wine at the Regional Winery of Nizza, located near the splendid Palazzo Crova, an admirable example of an 18th century noble town residence.
At the end of the tour, the more "daring" will be able to reach the Church of Madonna della Neve, one of the highest points in the town.
It can be reached via a very steep climb but the view over the city and the surrounding municipalities is certainly worth the effort.
The track starts from the e-bike collection point in Nizza Monferrato and winds through a maze of secondary streets until it reaches the splendid hamlet of Sant’Antonio di Canelli.
Canelli and Torre dei Contini:
The track will continue after turning near the Church of Sant’Antonio Abate and will make you proceed in the direction of the tower, along a secondary road. During the ride you will always see, in one of the highest points around you, the top of the tower, which will be your reference throughout this part of the route.
Near a purple building you can take the dirt road which, on foot, will take you to this particular monument.
The Tower, dating back to 1617, delimited the boundaries of the municipality and served as a military lookout.
From here, it is possible to have a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape, glimpsing the perfect meeting between the hills of Monferrato and those of the Langhe
Continuing the planned route you will arrive in the center of Canelli.
The town of Canelli is a small town of about ten thousand inhabitants that rises near the southernmost border of the Monferrato, a few steps from the province of Cuneo.
Canelli is historically divided into two parts: “Il Borgo” and “Villanuova”. The first, further down the valley, is the one that has continued to expand with the passing of time while the second, the oldest Canelli, lies on the slopes of the hill and is still dominated by its castle, today Castello Gancia. The Borgo and Villanuova are connected by one of the historical elements of Canelli: La Sternia.
In the lower part of the city, down in the Borgo, from Piazza Amedeo D’Aosta you can take Via Giovanni Battista Giuliani. Continuing on this road and then turning onto Via Gioacchino Rossini, you will find yourself in Piazza San Tommaso. Here you will meet the Church of San Tommaso on the left, from which the square takes its name, and further to the right the Church of the Annunziata. Between the two religious buildings begins the Sternia, a paved pedestrian street whose current name is via Villanuova.
The Sternia climbs up the hill, crosses the medieval part of the town, reaches Piazza San Leonardo, home to the church of the same name and that of San Rocco (recognizable because it is completely brick). From here the road continues uphill until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now Castello Gancia.
The Castle of Canelli was the protagonist of a rather troubled history. Presumably born at the beginning of the eleventh century, the Canelli Castle originally had the purpose of defending the roads that led from Asti to Savona, essential for merchant traffic.
Subsequently the fortress has witnessed many struggles and battles that have caused repeated destruction and reconstruction, until 1929 when the Castle was purchased by the Gancia family and transformed into a large noble residence. Even today, the castle dominates the town from above and shows the Canellese and visitors its beautiful appearance of an eighteenth-century villa.
Unfortunately, as the private home of the Gancia family, the castle cannot be visited, however, at least one passage is required to admire it from the outside.
Asti Spumante is the symbol of Canelli and with it are also the places where the wine takes shape. The Underground Cathedrals are located in the Borgo and represent, in a certain sense, the buried counterpart of the town. These were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014.
We are talking about ancient and incredibly large cellars, where the fine wines of the area are brought to rest and where they develop their peculiarities. The Underground Cathedrals of Canelli belong to four great historic wineries: Bosca, Contratto, Gancia and Coppo. Although in different ways, all 4 companies make their treasures open to the public.
Always starting from Piazza Amedeo D’Aosta, take Via Giovanni Battista Giuliani: here you will meet the Contract and Bosca companies. Continuing in the direction of Corso Libertà you reach the door of the Gancia winery. The Coppo winery, on the other hand, can be found in another area of the Borgo, in via Alba.
After crossing the industrial area of the city, famous for its large companies of wine making machinery and bottling, secondary streets will take you back to the starting point of the tour in Nizza Monferrato.
