Fontanile
23 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
This quiet Asti community of 477 residents sits on the rolling ridges of Piedmont, where well-drained soils and microclimates cultivate exceptional vineyards. Fontanile excels in crafting highly localized wines, most notably the ruby-hued Dolcetto d'Asti DOC, cultivated within a selective zone of just 24 municipalities, and the aromatic, sparkling Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG. The village's dedication to viticulture is preserved by its 4 verified producers, all of whom open their cellar doors to visitors. Here, the landscape's geological heritage directly shapes a focused portfolio of 23 protected denominations, making this compact village a vital stop for Piedmontese wine enthusiasts.
