Starting from Canale, walkers can go through Roncaglia, Madonna del Cavalli and Baroni Incisa crus to reach the village of Castellinaldo on top of the hill. This council has a cultivated area with vineyards from the Roero territory and a wonderful view. After that, they walk across the extended amphitheater of vineyards of Rocca Cerretto, Serra Zoanni, Leschera, San Quirico and Trono crus, to then get in proximity of Castagnito through the Cortine and Croera crus, from which is worth to get a glimpse at the 360-view offered by San Licerio bric, one of the highest point of the area. The vineyards that are mostly exposed towards the south/south-west side (Serra Zoanni, San Quirico, Cortine) benefit of an important solar radiation from the central hours of the day until sunset, which means that their soil is rich in clay and silt, but has a less percentage of sand compared to the average soil of this territory.
Continuing the itinerary, walkers go across the elegant town of Guarene with its massive baroque castle and proceed towards Vezza d’Alba walking alongside Montebello and Madernassa crus, surrounded by vineyards and spread-out orchards (Madernassa pears, apricots and peaches). Consequently, they reach the Borbone stream’s plain walking on a road on the valley floor, from which they can admire the steep vineyards of Torion and Patarun crus crawling their way up on the right side, going then up San Michele’s ridge among vineyards that frame the homonymous little parish church and some historical ciabot, closing up the ring path in direction of Canale.
