Terre Alfieri

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Terre Alfieri DOCG"

DOCG area for white and red wines in the Italian region of Piedmont. After the DOC classification in 2009, the high classification was followed in 2020. It was named after the poet and playwright Vittorio Alfieri (1749-1803) from Asti. The zone covers 40 hectares of vineyards in 11 municipalities. These are 7 in the province of Asti (Antignano, Celle Enomondo, Cisterna d'Asti, Revigliasco, San Damiano, San Martino Alfieri and Tigliole) and 4 in the province of Cuneo (Castellinaldo, Govone, Magliano Alfieri and Priocca). If the grapes come from classified vineyards, Vigna can be indicated followed by the name of the vineyard. The soils are characterised by the so-called Asti sands from marine sedimentary deposits that can be found here. The height of the vineyard must be at least 130 metres and at most 350 metres.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
