What grows here
Cortiglione
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cortiglione, a quiet Piedmontese village of just 511 residents in the province of Asti, channels its unique microclimate into 20 protected wine and food denominations. Chief among these highly localized treasures is Nizza DOC, a prestigious red wine cultivated across a select zone of only 18 municipalities. The clay-rich soils and sun-drenched hillsides here yield robust Barbera grapes, which find their ultimate expression in this highly restricted terroir. This small commune's distinct geological character also nurtures Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC, proving that small-scale Asti communities can yield exceptionally concentrated agricultural diversity.
