What grows here
Costa Vescovato
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Costa Vescovato, a small Piedmontese municipality home to just 309 inhabitants, bears a name hinting at ancient ecclesiastical ties within the Alessandria province. This compact territory is crucial for the acclaimed Colli Tortonesi DOC wines, a testament to the unique terroir of its 46-municipality zone. The local hills, shaped by specific geological conditions, provide an ideal environment for grape cultivation, yielding distinct white and red varietals. Beyond these wines, Costa Vescovato contributes to a total of 13 protected denominations, including the broader Piemonte DOC and the cherished Vitelloni Piemontesi della Coscia IGP, making it a surprisingly fertile ground for regional specialties.
