Casorzo sits among rolling hills and vineyards in a slightly elevated position, just over 250 meters above sea level. The town has around 600 residents, roughly equally split between Casorzo di Sopra and Casorzo di Sotto, most of whom work in agriculture and in the production of Malvasia wine.

Its strategic and panoramic location makes Casorzo an ideal starting point for numerous circular excursions, on foot or by bike, ranging from 4 to 16 kilometers or more.

These routes lead to medieval villages such as Montemagno, Altavilla, Grana, and Vignale, and their castles.
In the town center, two notable churches stand out: the 18th-century Parish Church of San Vincenzo and the deconsecrated Church of Madonna delle Grazie, now owned by the municipality.
Casorzo also features its own Big Bench, number 91, as well as three art installations from the “TerrEmerse” project: i Pesci (the Fish) at Cascina Moncucchetto, l’Ammonite (the Ammonite) in Via San Ludovico, and lo Squalo (the Shark) at Cascine San Pietro 15.

In the town itself, you can admire one of Piedmont’s “monumental” trees: a 200-year-old horse chestnut with a trunk diameter of 4 meters and a height of 16 meters. Nearby, the famous “Bialbero,” a mulberry and cherry tree sharing the same trunk, adds another botanical curiosity.

And, of course, the vineyards here are a unique feature in themselves. The Malvasia grape, an aromatic black variety, was introduced by the Venetians from the Peloponnese and once served in inns called “Malvase.” Today, this resilient grape produces three wines: Malvasia di Casorzo DOC, Malvasia spumante, and Malvasia passito. Every June, the Cantina Sociale di Casorzo hosts a festival celebrating this historic local wine.
