What grows here
Castelnuovo Calcea
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the southern hills of Asti province, the small Piedmontese village of Castelnuovo Calcea, home to fewer than 700 residents, anchors a highly concentrated wine-growing territory. This micro-climate shapes 21 protected denominations. Chief among these is Nizza DOC, a highly localized red wine produced in a restricted zone of just 18 municipalities. The village's distinctive clay soils also yield the delicate Grignolino d'Asti DOC, limited to 34 local communes. These specific hillsides concentrate heat and mineral nutrients, providing the exact drainage and exposure needed to define the strict territorial profiles of these highly selective Monferrato wines.
