What grows here
Pasturana
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Pasturana rises where the northernmost slopes of the Ligurian Apennines soften into Piedmontese hills, creating a ventilated microclimate perfect for grape growing. This specific terrain makes the village one of only 11 municipalities permitted to bottle Gavi DOCG, a crisp white wine defined by its mineral tension. In total, 15 protected denominations overlap this territory, including Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC. Currently, 1 verified local producer operates within Pasturana, safeguarding the integrity of these hilly vineyards and transforming the unique geographical transition between mountain and plain into highly acclaimed regional specialties.
