What grows here
Denice
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Denice, an Alessandria commune of just 161 inhabitants, lies within the restricted 19-municipality zone of the rare Robiola di Roccaverano DOP. This prized cheese thrives on the high pastures where goats graze on wild mountain herbs. The same steep limestone hills of southern Piedmont nurture vineyards for Dolcetto d'Acqui DOC, a characterful wine limited to 23 surrounding communes. In total, Denice hosts 20 overlapping protected denominations, making this sparsely populated outpost a concentrated hub of flavor, shaped by maritime winds colliding with alpine currents.
