Castelletto Monferrato

Home to fewer than 1,500 residents in the province of Alessandria, Castelletto Monferrato is a compact Piedmontese enclave where viticulture defines the agricultural landscape. The municipality’s clay soils contribute directly to 15 protected denominations overlapping its borders. Chief among these is Barbera del Monferrato DOC, a vibrant red wine cultivated across a zone of 211 municipalities. Alongside it, the robust Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG thrives under the local microclimate. Here, high-acid Barbera grapes find their ideal southern exposures, yielding wines that express the authentic, sharp character of this specific Monferrato terrain.
