What grows here
Ricaldone
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Within the Monferrato hills of Alessandria, the small Piedmontese village of Ricaldone, home to just 604 residents, channels its steep, sun-baked clay slopes into defining the intense character of Dolcetto d'Acqui DOC. This highly localized red wine, cultivated across a limited territory of 23 municipalities, thrives in Ricaldone’s specific microclimate alongside the aromatic, ruby-red Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG. The village's dedicated viticultural heritage is preserved today by 2 verified producers, both of whom open their cellar doors to curious international travelers seeking to experience these historic vineyards firsthand.
