What grows here
Cantarana
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cantarana, a quiet Asti commune of fewer than a thousand residents, channels its specific sandy-clay soils into elite viticulture. It is one of only 13 municipalities authorized to produce the rare Cisterna d'Asti DOC, a Croatina-based red that thrives in this particular pocket of Piedmont. While the village claims 19 protected denominations in total, including the broader Barbera d'Asti DOCG, it is this hyper-local terroir that defines its wine. The steep slopes of the Asti hills surrounding the village offer the perfect sun exposure, making Cantarana a crucial birthplace for these specialized northern Italian wines.
