What grows here
Moasca
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Moasca, a small village situated on the hilly saddle bridging the Langa and Monferrato regions, channels its distinct terroir into 21 protected denominations. On these steep Asti slopes, 3 verified local producers—including 2 who welcome guests for tastings—craft highly localized wines. Chief among these are the aromatic Canelli DOC, restricted to a selective zone of 17 municipalities, and the prestigious, Barbera-based Nizza DOC, produced across only 18. This specific geographical intersection provides the ideal clay soils and microclimate for these world-class Piedmontese wines to thrive.
