What grows here
Cunico
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising to an altitude of 257 meters in the Asti hills, the tiny village of Cunico—home to just over four hundred residents—uses its elevated, sun-soaked slopes to nurture 18 protected denominations. Chief among these is the Freisa d'Asti DOC, a characteristic red wine limited to a selective zone of 117 municipalities. The local microclimate and clay-chalk soils also excel at producing the robust Barbera d'Asti DOCG. Here, the altitude ensures cool nights that preserve the grapes' essential acidity, defining the structured, aromatic profile unique to Cunico's viticultural output.
