What grows here
Avolasca
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on a ridge in Piedmont's Alessandria province, Avolasca's distinct geography, branching from Monte San Vito (684m) and acting as a watershed between the Grue and Ossona valleys towards the Tortona spur, naturally shapes its unique agricultural output. This precise terroir fosters an environment where 13 protected denominations flourish. Foremost among these is the Colli Tortonesi DOC, a celebrated wine whose specific zone spans 46 municipalities. Avolasca's contribution to ItalyTasteMap is deeply rooted in this local viticulture, which thrives amidst a landscape echoing the culinary traditions of neighboring Liguria.
