What grows here
Cisterna d'Asti
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on the hilly boundary between Asti and Cuneo, Cisterna d'Asti owes its identity to the medieval fortress that has crowned its ridge since the eleventh century, housing the historic water cistern that named the village. This steep, wooded landscape nurtures 20 protected denominations. Chief among these is the namesake Cisterna d'Asti DOC and the prestigious Terre Alfieri DOCG. Seven local producers craft these wines directly within the municipal borders, and four of these cellars are open for visits, offering a direct taste of this ancient terroir.
