What grows here
Mornese
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising where the Alto Monferrato hills meet the rugged Ligurian Apennines, Mornese spans slopes partially protected by the Capanne di Marcarolo Regional Park. This steep, mountain-influenced terrain shapes 17 protected denominations, led by the characterful Dolcetto di Ovada DOC. Confined to a cultivation zone of just 22 municipalities, both this wine and the Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG thrive on the stony slopes of the Ovadese. The maritime winds blowing across these heights also benefit the white Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC, cementing Mornese's reputation for exceptional high-altitude winemaking.
