Cassine

Rising on the clay-rich hills that flank the left bank of the lower Bormida River, Cassine channels its river-valley microclimate into exceptional viticulture. This specific terrain shapes the character of 21 protected denominations, led by local specialties like the ruby-hued Dolcetto d'Acqui DOC, restricted to just 23 municipalities, and the aromatic, sparkling Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG. The village's dedicated winegrowing community includes 4 verified producers based directly within the municipal borders, 3 of whom open their cellars for tastings, offering a direct taste of how this river-carved Piedmontese landscape translates into the glass.
