TERRITORY OF ORIGIN

TERROR

We are in Alto Monferrato , one of the most interesting and varied regions in terms of landscape, history and oenology in the entire Italian panorama.

It is characterized by a landscape which, starting from the north, begins with the flat territories of Casale Monferrato, which gently transform into the hills of the Monferrato Astigiano to end with the heights of the Ligurian Apennines. Precisely this orographic complexity is the basis of the division of the area into Basso Monferrato, corresponding to the flat north, Monferrato Astigiano, the central and western strip, and Alto Monferrato, the area with the most consistent reliefs. In 2014, UNESCO included Monferrato among the World Heritage Sites, together with Langhe and Roero.

An important recognition aimed at safeguarding a wonderful territory and its values ​​linked to peasant traditions. The varieties that appear in historical documents are mainly Dolcetto, Barbera, Brachetto, Moscato and Cortese; but there is also room for the unknown seeds nibiö (red berry) and timorasso (white berry), both native to the Alessandria area, rediscovered by a few courageous producers.

Albarossa, another typical variety of Alto Monferrato, is a cross between Nebbiolo di Dronero and Barbera, created by the ampelographer Giovanni Dalmasso towards the end of the 1930s and recognized in 2001 as a variety suitable for cultivation and winemaking.
