What grows here
Belforte Monferrato
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Belforte Monferrato is anchored in the Ovadese, a southern Piedmontese territory defined by its historical ties to the nearby hub of Ovada. This specific position shapes the local viticulture, which thrives across 19 overlapping protected denominations. Most notably, the municipality belongs to a restricted zone of just 22 communes dedicated to crafting Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG, a robust, age-worthy red wine. Here, the local microclimate also nurtures Dolcetto di Ovada DOC, ensuring that this small enclave remains a vital stronghold for authentic, site-specific Piedmontese winemaking.
