What grows here
Odalengo Piccolo
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the quiet hills of the Alessandria province, the tiny Piedmontese enclave of Odalengo Piccolo—home to barely two hundred residents—nurtures an impressive portfolio of 17 protected denominations. Chief among these highly localized treasures is Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese DOC, a light, tannic red wine born from a selective zone of just 34 municipalities. This specialized terroir, characterized by calcareous clay soils and a sunny continental microclimate, also excels in cultivating Barbera d'Asti DOCG. Here, small-scale viticulture leverages steep vineyard slopes to produce expressive wines reflecting the authentic, raw character of the Monferrato hills.
