What grows here
Castelletto d'Erro
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
A tiny Alessandrian enclave of just 114 residents, Castelletto d'Erro hosts 19 protected denominations within its breezy, high-elevation territory. This microclimate on the edge of the Langhe fosters the production of Robiola di Roccaverano DOP, a goat's milk cheese restricted to a tight zone of 19 municipalities. On these same steep slopes, the native Dolcetto grape thrives, fueling the intense Dolcetto d'Acqui DOC, a wine produced across a compact territory of 23 communes. The steep, sun-exposed clay soils here ensure concentrated flavors in both curd and grape, defining this compact Piedmontese outpost.
