What grows here
Castellero
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castellero, a tiny Piedmontese municipality of just 283 residents in the Asti hills, channels its sandy, pliocene clay soils into highly localized viticulture. This pocket-sized terroir hosts 18 protected denominations, led by the historic Freisa d'Asti DOC, an aromatic red wine deeply tied to these specific elevations. The steep, sun-exposed slopes also yield robust Barbera d'Asti DOCG. Here, the unique composition of the Astian sands forces grapevines to root deeply, concentrated in a microscopic geographic footprint that defines the intense, rustic character of every bottle produced within this compact territory.
