Pomaro Monferrato

In the clay-limestone hills of Alessandria, the tiny municipality of Pomaro Monferrato—home to only 333 residents—nurtures an exceptional viticultural legacy. This compact Piedmontese territory claims 16 protected denominations, shaped by its specific microclimate and sloping elevation. Here, the Barbera grape achieves supreme concentration, feeding the production of Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG and Barbera del Monferrato DOC. The steep local ridges maximize sunlight exposure and drainage, forcing vines to dig deep into the mineral soils. This unique topography elevates the tiny village into a heavyweight of Piedmontese winemaking.
