a real estate in Piedmont

If by any chance you are looking for a real estate in the north west of Italy, Piedmont, this property of a friend of mine is on sale:

‘The site is a hill village located 400 m. above sea level overlooking the plain below. 8 km away is the Serravalle Scrivia castle on the Milano – Genova highway. The real estate comprises three buildings:

- 90 square m. manor with medieval tower dated 1400 in need of refurbishment

- 110 square m. house partially refurbished

- 110 square m. house in need of refurbishment

- 100 square m. courtyard

- 60 square m. garden

Both houses lack central heating and are used as summer holiday accommodations. Refurbishment will provide attractive outcomes. Asking price is Euro 200,000. For visits weekends only.

Quality/Price ratio is a figure wine merchants/producers seem not to take into account anymore. I was used to seeing high prices for a bottle of good wine in the U.S. and other countries but Italy. For years now the price for a bottle has increased considerably in my native country.

I discovered Blason during my trips to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a north east region where my mother-in-law lives and my reconciliation with wine producers took eventually place.

I will not bother you with a review about his wine (and prices!): if you google his name you’ll find some interesting ones along with the merchants who sell his wine in the U.S. and few other countries.

P.S. I am not the author of Blason’s website photos.
