The following text and the linked "hikes" routes are part of the Gallo Nero Bike Day event on last 20th September 2020. Together with the organising body we decided to let the routes be available all year round, hoping that more and more people decide to cycle on our roads. If you want to visit wineries, restaurants and businesses who joined the event, please call in advance because special menus and prices and opening times may vary without notification.
The 8th edition of the Gallo Nero Granfondo race has been postponed to 2021. This year, bicycle enthusiasts will not take part in the usual Gallo Nero race on September 20th, rather they will have the opportunity to embark on a special ‘food and wine’ cycling tour for the day. Bike aficionados will be able to test their skills on either of the two Granfondo courses starting from any point of the itinerary. Whilst enjoying a ride through natural scenic beauty, they can stop along the way for a visit to the Chianti Classico cellars - many of which will be open for guided tours and tastings - or take a longer break in one of the several restaurants near the route, delighting in dishes specifically created for the occasion and dedicated to cyclists. Several Gallo Nero statues will mark the path and represent the focal point around which musical entertainment and other performances will take place.

Some of these traditional buildings date back to the medieval or Renaissance period and represent an important historical and cultural heritage of the region.
What does a farmhouse look like? A farmhouse is characterized by stone walls, inner courtyards, vaulted roofs, and sometimes watchtowers.

In addition to their architectural beauty, Apulian farmhouses are often surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and offer the opportunity to taste genuine local cuisine, based on fresh and high-quality products.

This ebike tour in Ciociaria will allow you to discover, without too much effort, some traits of two among the most famous paths in all of Italy. It is part of Ceprano's rental point, where you can choose the electric bike best suited to you. After a few kilometers of pedalata you will enter a road, immersed in nature, which is part of the group of European cycling itineraries called EuroVelo. Along this route you will meet the Natural Monument Grotte of Falvaterra and Rio Obaco, where we advise you to stop to visit the interior of the Grotts or simply refresh yourself to its exterior. The second part of the itinerary envisages, then, to reach and take part of another historic path, the Via Francigena. This, away from the main routes, will lead you to the country of Ceprano and finally back to the rental point.
Bike + Train : with an increasingly careful eye to sustainability in the tourism sphere, at the request will be possible to rent the ebike directly from Ceprano-Falvaterra railway station. You can, therefore, reach Ceprano by train (connected directly with Rome and Naples), rent the ebike and re-mark it back to the same station at the end of the experience.
EuroVelo 5
EuroVelo is a group of cycling routes that cross all of Europe. In particular we find ourselves along the stretch called EuroVelo 5, also called "Via Romea Francigena" 3,900 kilometres long, which, once finished, will unite London in Brindisi, passing through Milan, Rome and our Ciociaria. After leaving Ceprano's rental point you'll be pedaling yourself right on secondary roads, immersed in the tranquility, sounds and perfumes typical of the campaign that will enrich your experience along the whole adventure. After a few kilometers you'll reach the SP151, which is part of the aforementioned EuroVelo 5, along which you'll meet some of the local trattories and producers, the reported Fontana Water Bianca, where you can stop to drink and fill up your borracks and, with a small detour from the main route, the Grottoes of Falvaterra.
Grotte of Falvaterra and Rio Obaco
Soon after leaving SP151 you will reach the Natural Monument Grotte in Falvaterra and Rio Obaco, a veritable hidden gem in the heart of Ciociaria. Here we advise you to stop to visit the interior of the complex (in this case you will need to reach the ticket office first, report on the map) or simply to rest on its exterior, where the temperatures fall sharply and, especially in the warmer days, you can enjoy the fresh from the caves and the torrent limpid spilling out of it.
Via Francigena
Back in the saddle to your ebike, you will be walking a few kilometers until you reach the dam that will allow you to cross the Liri River and arrive at the Lake St. John Inload. In a short time you will find yourself along the Via Francigena (also reported by numerous road signs) that will take you to pedal first around the lake and then on a long white road that crosses the woods, away from paved roads and cars. Once you return to the main road, continuing to follow the road signs also, you will be returning to a secondary road that will allow you to reach another small lake, that of San Giacomo. Among the local inhabitants, this small water mirror is known for its particular connection with the Moon : as can be seen from satellite images, in fact, its particular form reminds precisely that of a crescent ; the numerous elevations and lowering of the water level during the course of the year remind those of the tides in the Earth-to-Earth interaction ; finally, the road leading from the country to the lake (in the path is the one you'll encounter by leaving it) is called its own Via Guardaluna.
By continuing the path we reach, finally, the municipality of Ceprano once again crossed the river thanks to the historic bridge which in the past divided the Papal State from the Kingdom of the South and which was mentioned in an episode of the Divine Comedy. Right after you arrive in Ceprano's main square where you can choose whether to stop to drink an aperitif or continue to re-enter the rental point, where you'll have a relaxation area, a relaxation area in the greenery of a plateau, the bar and restaurant Le Ganze where you can reinstate your energies, eating typical dishes of the laitier and ciociara cuisine.
This bike experience is perfect for unusually and sustainably discovering the beauties of the ciocious territory, immersing itself in its history, in its pristine nature and gusting its typical products.

How to visit Montegrosso d’Asti
Montegrosso preserves an ancient medieval village located on the top of the hill. Right in the ancient center, the feudal castle stands out imposingly, built in 1134, a true work of engineering for the time.
Our journey starts from the “Enoteca dei Colli Astiani”, a reference point in the area for over 20 years for all lovers of good wine.
The route will wind between the hills of Monferrato and Langhe through splendid scenery.
You pedal almost immediately on a slope to reach the "crest" of the surrounding hills and enjoy the best landscapes.

Continuing the ride "on the crest" you will arrive at the ancient village of Calosso, also perched on a hill dominating the surrounding landscape.
This town is made famous by the Rapulè Festival which takes place every year on the third weekend of October, when the harvest comes to an end.
During this event it is possible to wander through the streets of the historic center tasting the typical dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, combined with sensational wine tastings.
In Calosso, the fortified wall that houses the ancient medieval castle certainly stands out.
This imposing structure has had a rather troubled history over the centuries and has undergone numerous destructions and alterations.
Agliano Terme and Retourn
Continuing along the route you will reach the town of Agliano Terme, a town famous for its wine landscapes and, as the name itself says, for its small spa.
You will reach the highest point of the town, characterized by a large square with an excellent view and the majestic tower of the ancient castle.
The castle of Agliano Terme was destroyed in the first half of the seventeenth century during the struggle between the Duke of Savoy and the Spaniards for the succession of Monferrato.
Today the tower remains of the mighty castle, which can be visited and owned by the aqueduct.
The top of the building is a privileged vantage point for observing the hills of the Province of Asti.
Going down towards the valley you will pass in front of the thermal station.
In 1770 a spring with a particular smell was discovered in a field of Agliano.
Subsequent chemical-physical analyzes confirmed the presence of sulfur and other substances in what the locals called "rotten water".
Right in that place, a hotel was built that began to welcome tourists right away and, later, everything became a spa.
Continuing along this flat road, the route will bring you back to the “Enoteca dei Colli Astiani” from where the tour started.

The phenomenon of water resurgence occurs in that band of variable width where there is the passage between the high plain, formed by coarse pebbles, and the low plain formed by sands and clays. The rainwater or fluvial waters penetrating under the ground do not find more space to flow and emerge limpid and at a constant temperature.
The phenomenon was used in the past for the practice of rotting: the water was running in the winter on the lawns keeping them free, then, from frost and snow and allowing further mowing even in the bad season.
