Montù Beccaria: Wine, History and Theatre

Montù Beccaria lies on a hill about 300 metres high and stretches along the banks of the Torrente Versa. The area is covered with rows of grapevines; winegrowing is the most important activity here. This combination of elevation, riverside landscape and winegrowing gives your travel planning a clear direction when choosing a holiday apartment in Montù Beccaria based on your preferred focus.

Winegrowing, Wineries and Tastings

Azienda Agricola Il Poggiolo is based in the municipality of Montù Beccaria. DOC wines such as Bonarda-Croatina, Barbera, Riesling, Pinot and Moscato are produced in Montù Beccaria. Cantina Storica Montù Beccaria was founded in 1902, while Fratelli Belcredi offers guided wine tastings.

The historic wineries of Montù Beccaria preserve large wooden barrels that recall the winemakers’ work in the past. The historic wineries offer guided tours focusing on old winegrowing traditions; a visit may also include a tasting of a glass of must. This gives the town several concrete points of interest for pleasure-oriented days, from the variety of regional wines to the history of winegrowing.

Church, Castle and Theatre

The parish of San Michele Arcangelo was established in August 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII at the request of Count Manfredi Beccaria. The parish church of San Michele contains two paintings attributed to Gaudenzio Ferrari; it also has a Baroque-style altar. Sacred art and the town’s long history form a distinct cultural focus here.

Castello di Montù Beccaria is considered the town’s most important historical and artistic landmark. The Castellazzo complex, located on the hill, retains little of its original function as a fortified structure. Most of the surviving buildings in the complex belong to a college built by the Barnabites in the 17th century.

Teatro Dardano is considered one of the oldest theatres in Oltrepò. It was restored and returned to its former function. The theatre thus adds another distinct perspective to Montù Beccaria’s historical and cultural themes.
