What grows here

Montabone

23 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Montabone, a tiny Asti enclave of just 307 residents, channels its steep clay-silt slopes into an impressive roster of 23 protected denominations. Here, the Asti hills shape the distinctive, cherry-toned Dolcetto d'Asti DOC, a highly localized red wine restricted to a zone of 24 municipalities, alongside the aromatic Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG. This focused viticultural environment hosts 2 active local producers, both of whom open their cellars to visitors. It is an intimate pocket of Piedmont where steep-slope grape growing remains the defining rhythm of daily life.
