What grows here
San Cristoforo
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Named after the third-century martyr of Lycia, the Alessandria municipality of San Cristoforo channels its historical legacy into a compact, high-caliber wine territory. Among its 17 protected denominations, the village shines within the exclusive Gavi DOCG, a white wine zone shared with just 10 other municipalities, alongside the red-focused Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG. The local terroir is guarded by a single, dedicated producer who opens their doors to visitors, offering an intimate taste of these rigorous appellations. Here, Piedmont's southern hills translate directly into a focused viticultural identity defined by tight geographic boundaries and singular craftsmanship.
