What grows here
Buttigliera d'Asti
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Buttigliera d'Asti, a Piedmontese commune of 2,509 residents, sits at the northwestern frontier of the Asti province where hills meet the clay-heavy Poirino plateau. This transition zone feeds the shallow clay ponds that breed the Tinca Gobba Dorata del Pianalto di Poirino DOP, a golden humpback tench reared across just 23 municipalities. Rising from these same clay-veined slopes is the native Freisa d'Asti DOC, a red wine defined by its terroir. In total, 19 protected denominations overlap here, showing how this specific dual landscape of plateau and hillside shapes world-class agricultural gastronomy.
