What grows here
Montiglio Monferrato
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Formed in 1998 from the unification of three medieval hamlets—Colcavagno, Montiglio, and Scandeluzza—this Asti municipality yields diverse agricultural expressions from its rolling clay-limestone ridges. This specific terroir nurtures the highly localized Freisa d'Asti DOC, a heritage red wine cultivated across a select zone of 117 neighboring municipalities. Among the 18 protected denominations overlapping here, the limestone slopes also optimize the signature acidity of Barbera d'Asti DOCG. These hillsides shape grapes that reflect the distinct territorial transition between the plains of Piedmont and the Monferrato hills, delivering structured wines born directly from this tri-village fusion.
