What grows here

Ovada

19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Ovada serves as the urban and commercial anchor of the hilly Ovadese territory. Recognised as a 2024 European Wine Capital, this Piedmontese hub boasts 19 overlapping protected denominations. The local winegrowing identity centers on Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG, a robust red cultivated across a restricted zone of 22 municipalities, alongside the white Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC. Currently, 4 verified producers operate directly within the municipal boundaries, with 1 estate offering public cellar visits. This terroir benefits from clay-rich soils where southern maritime drafts from the Apennines meet continental Piedmontese climates.
