What grows here
Molare
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Molare draws its name from the Latin mola, evoking the rugged millstones that historically defined this corner of Alessandria. Today, this steep landscape fuels a focused viticulture, home to 1 registered producer. Here, the vineyards thrive across 19 protected designations, led by the highly localized Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG, shared with a select zone of just 22 municipalities. Alongside this intense red, the clay-limestone soils yield the crisp Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC, proving that these ancient, grindstone-like hills now craft some of Piedmont's most distinctive, terroir-driven wines.
