DiVIN Mongröss

A weekend of taste in the Asti Monferrato

DiVIN Mongröss is the food and wine festival that brings the historic center of Montegrosso d'Asti to life every year. This small town in the Province of Asti is nestled in the hills of the Monferrato, in Piedmont. The event offers a widespread itinerary through the village streets and squares, where visitors can wander on foot at a relaxed pace, stopping at each station to sample local wines and traditional dishes, all framed by the vineyards and hilly panoramas that have made this land famous.

Barbera takes center stage

The heart of the festival is Barbera d'Asti DOC and DOCG, a red wine with a bold character that is the fruit of local farming tradition. The wines are presented directly by the producers, who share the story of their work and guide the tastings. DiVIN Mongröss is part of the "Sinfonia Barbera" project promoted by the Consorzio Barbera d'Asti e Vini del Monferrato, a network of events spread across the territory created to showcase the denomination and Asti's wineries.

Flavors of the territory

Along the trail, local Pro Loco associations and restaurateurs offer the best of Piedmontese cuisine: from fried gnocco with cured meats to agnolotti, from raw beef to risotto with Barbera and fondue, from focaccia to farinata, and even cheeses like Robiola di Roccaverano DOP and desserts such as hazelnut cake.

• Specialties from the Montegrosso and Santa Caterina Pro Loco
• Street food, focaccias, piadinas, and farinata
• Local wines available for purchase by the bottle (the "divini")
• Artisan gelato and traditional desserts

Music and atmosphere

The evenings are enlivened by live music, ranging from jazz and piano bars to band concerts, accompanying the food and wine stroll through the illuminated streets of the village. The event is organized by the Nuova Pro Loco di Montegrosso d'Asti APS in collaboration with the Municipality, and has become a highly anticipated spring appointment in the Asti area, blending conviviality, tradition, and the discovery of the Monferrato landscape.
