What grows here
Belveglio
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Belveglio, an Asti province enclave with fewer than three hundred residents, leverages its warm Piedmontese hillsides to nurture 21 protected denominations. Chief among these highly localized treasures is the prestigious Nizza DOC, a red wine restricted to a micro-zone of just 18 municipalities where Barbera grapes find optimal sun exposure. The area's sandy clay soils also yield the bright, tannic Grignolino d'Asti DOC, limited to 34 communes. Here, the high concentration of specialized viticulture turns this tiny village into a vital sensory cornerstone for Piedmont's historic winemaking heritage.
