Dogliani DOCG is clearly an area with plenty of potential. Under the new Italian system of mapping an appellation precisely to create MGAs, 77 of them were agreed for Dogliani, an area around the town of Dogliani that was established as the Dolcetto di Dogliani DOC in 1974 and achieved its DOCG status in 2005. Additional amendments in 2011 meant that the appellation incorporated the Dolcetto delle Langhe Monregalesi DOC.
The vineyards of Dogliani DOCG are among the southernmost in Piedmont, reaching to the foothills of the Maritime Alps.
