The production zone lies within the territory of the Comunità collinare Colline Alfieri and the Unione dei Comuni Roero fra Tanaro a Castelli, a hilly area rooted in the farming traditions of the Asti countryside.
The Arneis and Nebbiolo wines of this appellation are grown on sandy-clay soils and steep hillsides, as described on Wikipedia. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

Human factors
Local growers have preserved the cultivation of Arneis, a variety that was at risk of disappearing, and maintained that of Nebbiolo, passing both on to successive generations.
The appellation was established in 2009 as a DOC to recognise the quality of wines produced from Arneis and Nebbiolo grapes, varieties long present in these areas. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
