Roatto

Roatto, a small community rooted in Piedmont’s historical Astesana territory, transforms its rolling clay hillsides into highly localized wines. This quiet corner of Asti province boasts 18 protected denominations, driven forward by 1 verified producer crafting wines of singular character. Chief among these is the red-grape-based Freisa d’Asti DOC, a specialty limited to a zone of 117 municipalities, followed closely by the prestigious Barbera d'Asti DOCG. Here, the specific Astesana microclimate and well-drained slopes yield concentrated, age-worthy varietals, cementing Roatto’s distinct niche in Italy's vinous atlas.
