What grows here
Penango
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Asti province, the tiny Piedmontese commune of Penango, home to just over four hundred residents, nourishes some of Monferrato's most distinctive viticulture. Within this compact territory, 19 protected denominations overlap, yielding wines deeply tied to the local clay and limestone soils. Penango belongs to a restricted zone of just 34 municipalities authorized to produce the bright, tannic Grignolino d'Asti DOC. It also falls within the 117-municipality boundaries of the historic Freisa d'Asti DOC. These native red grapes thrive on the sunny, undulating hillsides, translating Asti's microclimate into highly expressive, terroir-driven bottles.
