What grows here
Altavilla Monferrato
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Altavilla Monferrato, a quiet Alessandria outpost whose population has shrunk by nearly a quarter in under a decade, concentrates its remaining energy into exceptional viticulture. Among its 18 protected denominations, the rare Malvasia di Casorzo d'Asti DOC represents the peak of hyper-local specialization, cultivated across just 7 neighboring municipalities. The clay-rich soils also nurture the vibrant Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese DOC. Currently, 1 verified producer based in the municipality keeps these winemaking legacies alive, welcoming curious travelers to taste how this quiet corner of Piedmont transforms its steep hillsides into aromatic, tightly focused wines.
