The story

Agriturismo 3 Orologi: Historic Castle Dining in Trino | wattafork

Roots in the Monferrato landscape

Agriturismo 3 Orologi sits within the Castello di Gabiano, offering grounded Italian country cooking across its Trino estate. Visitors look out over amphitheater vineyards and the winding course of the Po river while settling into meals built around seasonal harvests. This setting shaped the kitchen’s original vision, which centers on preserving regional recipes using vegetables pulled daily from the grounds. Guests experience country cooking that leans heavily on preserved meats, slow-simmered sauces, and rustic bread.

The kitchen and signature preparations

Recent praise from the Faccino Contento + guide highlights how the chefs translate those estate resources into precise regional plates. Diners start with vitello tonnato finished with a light caper powder, followed by agnolotti del plin resting in a deep roast jus. House-cut maltagliati appear alongside a rich wild boar ragù sourced from the same property, while a poached egg melts into a warm cheese fondue. Tasting menus scale from three to six courses, rounding out the meal with bonet and seasonal vegetable plates.

Vineyard pairings and terrace pacing

Bottles poured at dinner travel directly from the estate’s own vineyards rather than external suppliers. The cellar stocks crisp whites and structured reds that mirror the weight of the slow-cooked meats and handmade pastas served throughout the week. An outdoor terrace provides a sunlit alternative for those who prefer to eat among the boxwood maze and older stone walls. Service follows a measured pace that mirrors the quiet rhythm of the surrounding countryside.
