What grows here
Visone
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Where the fast-flowing Visone torrent empties into the Bormida River, the distinct microclimate of the Acquese hills shapes exceptional viticulture. This moist, gravelly confluence just outside the ancient thermal baths of Acqui Terme provides the ideal terroir for the municipality's 20 protected denominations. Chief among these highly localized wines is Dolcetto d'Acqui DOC, a characterful red grown across a restricted zone of 23 municipalities. The unique river-valley drafts also nurture the aromatic grapes of Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG, ensuring that Visone's steep, sun-drenched banks yield some of Piedmont's most expressive bottles.
