What grows here
Montafia
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the quiet, rural hills of Asti, where Montafia's population of fewer than a thousand residents stewards an ancient viticultural heritage, the unique clay-limestone soils nurture some of Piedmont’s most expressive wines. This terroir is perfectly suited to the native Freisa grape, making Montafia an essential part of the 117-municipality zone for Freisa d'Asti DOC. In total, 18 protected denominations overlap in this small territory, including the robust Barbera d'Asti DOCG, where warm microclimates on steep slopes coax vibrant acidity and deep cherry notes from the Barbera vine.
