San Martino Alfieri
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched along the 257-meter-high ridge dividing the Tanaro and Borbore river basins, San Martino Alfieri commands a historical highway connecting Asti to the Roero hills. This unique geographic boundary fosters ideal viticultural conditions, yielding 20 protected denominations. Chief among these is the highly localized Terre Alfieri DOCG, shared with only ten neighboring municipalities, alongside the distinctive Cisterna d'Asti DOC. The steep, vineyard-draped slopes surrounding this ancient corridor are shaped by active viticulture, preserved today by 3 verified local producers, 2 of whom actively open their doors to cellar visits for traveling enthusiasts.
