Trisobbio

Trisobbio, once the medieval capital governing the defensive castles between the Orba and Bormida rivers, channels its historic vigilance into strict viticulture. Within this hilly Ovadese stronghold, 19 protected denominations overlap, none more prestigious than the local Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore DOCG, a deep red shared with just 21 other neighboring communes. The clay-limestone soils of these Alto Monferrato slopes nurture structured wines, championed by a single verified local producer who opens their cellar doors to curious travelers, offering a direct taste of this singular, castle-guarded terroir.
