The vineyards of Malgrà are mostly located within the municipality of Nizza Monferrato, the centre of the As3 Monferrato area. At present, they stretch for about 40 hectares and are mostly clustered around a hilly ridge that represents the heart of the produc3on of Nizza DOCG.
The soils of Monferrato have a prevalence of calcareous clays and sand. The different vi3cultural voca3on comes mainly from the general clima3c condi3ons, which are colder and drier. Here the Barbera grape has found a home: it is the main variety of Monferrato, origina3ng from property vineyards and vinified into several single vineyards in the heart of the Nizza DOCG area.
