San Salvatore Monferrato
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising on the strategic ridges that partition the low plains of Alessandria from the Casale flatlands, San Salvatore Monferrato enjoys a hilly microclimate ideal for viticulture. This distinctive topography nurtures 16 protected denominations, headed by celebrated local red wines. The steep slopes here are particularly famous for yielding the prized Barbera d'Asti DOCG. Additionally, the municipality is a core producer of Barbera del Monferrato DOC, a historical appellation spanning a zone of 211 municipalities. Here, the clay-limestone soils combine with sunny exposures to craft structured, expressive wines that define the regional heritage.
