What grows here
Cossombrato
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the historic Astesana hills of Piedmont, the tiny village of Cossombrato fosters a viticultural legacy where 18 protected denominations overlap. This specific terrain shapes the character of Freisa d'Asti DOC, a local red wine cultivated across a tight zone of 117 municipalities, and the prestigious Barbera d'Asti DOCG. The clay-limestone soils of this Asti enclave yield highly expressive grapes, making Cossombrato a concentrated micro-hub for Piedmontese winemaking. Here, viticulture is defined by steep ridges that catch optimal sunlight, translating the Astesana terroir directly into the glass.
