What grows here

Calosso

22 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Calosso, a historic stronghold within Piedmont's ancient Astesana territory, channels its steep Asti hillsides into 22 protected wine designations. This specific microclimate is the birthplace of the ultra-local Calosso DOC, a rare wine shared with only two other municipalities, alongside the highly aromatic Canelli DOC. The town's unique clay-limestone soils explain why 18 verified producers choose to craft their wines within these municipal boundaries. Today, 11 of these cellars are open for visits, offering travelers a direct taste of a steep, vine-clad landscape that has defined Asti viticulture for centuries.
