Corsione

This tiny Asti hillside enclave, home to fewer than 200 residents, channels its steep, sun-exposed slopes into intense viticulture. This specific microclimate and limestone soil foster the delicate, aromatic Freisa d'Asti DOC, a red wine limited to a zone of just 117 municipalities. Corsione’s undulating Piedmontese terrain also yields the bold Barbera d'Asti DOCG, capturing the sharp, fruit-forward essence of the Monferrato hills. With 18 protected denominations overlapping this single territory, the compact village punches far above its weight, turning its quiet ridges into a concentrated cradle for Northwest Italy's most expressive historic grapes.
