The production zone lies in the hills of the communes of Calosso, Costigliole d'Asti, and Castagnole delle Lanze, in the southern Asti area, a territory with a strong vocation for viticulture.
In Calosso, the agricultural land devoted to viticulture exceeds 80%, making the commune one of the most densely planted in the country in percentage terms.
