Wine · PDO · 51 municipalities

Recognized since 1973, the Asti DOCG in Piemonte is defined by its strict reliance on the Moscato bianco grape, which must make up at least 97% of the blend. Spanning 51 municipalities, including Alice Bel Colle, this denomination of 232 verified producers separates itself from neighbouring wine zones through unique regulatory constraints. Unlike other Italian sparkling wines, the terms 'Riserva' and 'superiore' are strictly prohibited here. Instead, territorial nuances are regulated through dedicated subzones like Santa Vittoria d'Alba and Strevi, which enforce a restricted maximum yield of 9.5 t/ha and higher alcohol levels, compared to the standard 10.0 t/ha baseline.
