Moncrivello
Located at the border with the province of Turin, Moncrivello is an ancient town dominated by a stately castle set in a splendid scenic position and framed by the Alps.
THE TOWN OF MONCRIVELLO
Walking through the streets of Moncrivello, we recommend a visit to the Parish Church of St. Eusebius, built as it appears today in 1856 in Neoclassical style on the site of an old previously existing church. Only the bell tower, although renovated, has retained its Romanesque appearance. The Castle of Moncrivello, symbol of the town, is a medieval structure that originated around the year 1000. Featuring Romanesque architecture and valuable Renaissance elements, it is enclosed in a mighty city wall adorned with Ghibelline battlements. It was a leading fortress, and was transformed in the 15th century by Duchess Jolanda into a splendid residence, becoming the favourite castle of several famous noblewomen.
Near the village is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Trompone, which was built in 1559. Interesting features are the three aisles and the dome that houses a cycle of frescoes attributed to Gaudenzio Ferrari.
ERBALUCE DI CALUSO GRAPEVINES AND THE BLUEBERRY SAGRA
The Blueberry and Moncrivellese Excellence Fair was launched in 2015 with the aim of enhancing the area and its products by linking them to the 0KM philosophy. The event takes place over three days with tastings, guided tours and events involving more than 100 exhibitors presenting products of excellence.
In addition to blueberries, the Moncrivello area hosts a small production zone of excellent wine where Erbaluce di Caluso grapevines are cultivated, a versatile vine from which various types of wine are made, from dry and sparkling wines to sweet and liquorous wines.
