Albugnano

Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities

Recognized since 2004 in Asti, the Albugnano DOC departs from neighboring Monferrato traditions by elevating Nebbiolo to a minimum of 85% of the blend, rounded out with Freisa, Barbera, or Bonarda. Restricted to just four municipalities, including Castelnuovo Don Bosco, this micro-zone features a unique "superiore" category. Unlike conventional riserva designations, "superiore" represents a stricter tier of the base red, requiring a minimum of 11.5% alcohol volume and a mandatory one-year aging process, with at least six months spent in oak barrels. Adhering to a maximum yield of 9.5 tonnes per hectare, this classification yields distinctive red wines with perceptible wood notes.
