What grows here
Castel Rocchero
24 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
With a tiny community of just 354 residents in Piedmont's Asti province, the hills of Castel Rocchero channel exceptional geologic conditions into world-class viticulture. Here, three verified producers craft wines under 24 protected denominations. This village shines particularly through the highly local Nizza DOC, which is restricted to a tight zone of 18 municipalities, as well as the Dolcetto d'Asti DOC and the aromatic Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG. The steep, sun-drenched vineyards of this pocket-sized commune provide the perfect marl soils to yield deep, structured reds that define this specific corner of Monferrato.
