What grows here

Albugnano

20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Home to just 526 residents in Piedmont's Asti province, the high-altitude commune of Albugnano concentrates its steep clay soils into 20 overlapping protected designations. Chief among these is the ultra-local Albugnano DOC, a Nebbiolo-based wine shared with only three neighboring municipalities, alongside the rare, aromatic Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco DOC. This specific terroir fosters distinct microclimates where five verified producers craft their vintages, and all five welcome visitors for direct tastings. From these hilly heights, viticulture is a precise, small-scale craft defined by strict geographic boundaries.
