What grows here
Capriata d'Orba
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Capriata d'Orba's viticultural identity is shaped by its position on the right bank of the Orba River, between the historical trade hubs of Novi Ligure and Ovada. Here, the microclimate of the Alto Monferrato hills feeds 20 overlapping protected denominations, led by the Gavi DOCG, a dry white wine shared with only ten other municipalities. This specific clay-dominant terroir also excels in producing Dolcetto di Ovada DOC. Currently, 8 verified producers operate within the municipal boundaries, nurturing these local vines, with 2 cellars open to international travelers for direct tastings.
