What grows here
Tigliole
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the historical Astesana hills of Piedmont, Tigliole’s distinct sandy-clay soils foster some of the region's most refined viticulture. This terroir is the birthplace of Terre Alfieri DOCG, a prestigious wine denomination restricted to a tight zone of just 11 municipalities. Here, Nebbiolo and Arneis grapes acquire a unique mineral elegance. Tigliole’s ancient agrarian landscape also shapes other local specialties like the robust Barbera d'Asti DOCG. In total, 19 protected food and wine denominations overlap in this specific corner of Asti, reflecting a highly specialized microclimate where steep slopes and ancient geological formations dictate the character of every harvest.
