Carentino
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Carentino, a tiny settlement of just 308 residents in the Alessandria province of Piedmont, channels its agricultural focus into cultivating premium wine grapes on its rolling hillsides. The local terroir excels at nurturing the Barbera grape, making the commune a key player within the limited 165-municipality zone of the prestigious Barbera d'Asti DOCG. This specific climate and soil composition also yield the robust Barbera del Monferrato DOC. In total, 16 protected denominations overlap in this small territory, proving that Carentino’s distinct microclimate punches far above its weight in Italy's viticultural landscape.
