Terre Alfieri
Wine · PDO · 11 municipalities
Spanning eleven Piedmontese municipalities including Antignano and Govone, the Terre Alfieri DOCG distinguishes itself from neighboring appellations by dedicating its identity to two disparate grape varieties—Arneis and Nebbiolo—without a single namesake blend. For the 437 verified producers in the zone, production rules diverge strictly by grape type. While the white Terre Alfieri Arneis permits a maximum yield of 10.0 tonnes per hectare and requires no mandatory aging, the red Nebbiolo counterpart must be aged for at least four months starting from November 1st of the harvest year, delivering a dry, harmonic red that develops garnet tones over time.
