Cella Monte
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Listed among Italy’s most prestigious historic hamlets, this Alessandria province village of fewer than five hundred residents is a crucial birthplace of Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese DOC. This light-colored, tannic red wine is tied to a restricted zone of just 34 municipalities, thriving on Cella Monte's marine-sediment soils. Among the 18 protected denominations overlapping this territory, local winemaking remains highly concentrated. There are 5 verified producers based directly in the municipality, 4 of whom welcome visitors into their cellars to experience this highly localized, historical viticulture firsthand.
