Malvasia di Casorzo d'Asti
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognised since 1973, the Malvasia di Casorzo d'Asti DOC is anchored by its namesake grape, which must comprise at least 90% of the blend. Cultivated across seven Piedmontese municipalities, including Grazzano Badoglio, this aromatic red wine distinguishes itself from nearby appellations through uncompromising labeling regulations. To maintain focus on its pure varietal character, the product's rules explicitly ban the terms 'superiore', 'riserva', and 'selezionato' from all bottles. Yielding ruby to cherry-pink hues, this sweet, soft wine is produced as still, frizzante, spumante, or passito, reflecting a highly specific local viniculture.
