What grows here
Montaldeo
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising where the northernmost ridges of the Ligurian Apennines yield to the rolling terrain of the Ovadese region, Montaldeo provides a distinct microclimate for viticulture. This unique geological positioning, where coastal winds meet alpine foothills, shapes the 19 protected denominations overlapping this territory. Chief among these local specialties is Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG, a red wine cultivated within a highly restricted zone of just 22 municipalities. Here, the grape develops its signature deep color and almond-tinged finish, thriving alongside crisp whites like Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC on the sun-baked, clay-limestone hillsides.
