What grows here
Castagnole Monferrato
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castagnole Monferrato, a quiet settlement of just over eleven hundred residents in Piedmont’s Asti province, is the birthplace of Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG. This highly localized, aromatic red wine thrives within a tight boundary of only seven municipalities, finding its ideal soil here. The village acts as a vital guardian of this rare grape, alongside cultivating Grignolino d'Asti DOC. Today, six verified producers craft these distinct regional wines directly within the municipal borders, and three of these cellars open their doors to curious wine travelers seeking to taste the authentic heritage of Monferrato.
