Collina Torinese

Wine · PDO · 28 municipalities

Recognised since 2004, the Collina Torinese DOC distinguishes itself in Piemonte through its highly specific blending rules and rare local varietals. While the standard Rosso requires a distinct partnership of at least 60% Barbera and 25% Freisa, the denomination's true uniqueness lies in its preservation of niche grapes. Within a restricted sub-area of its 28 municipalities, including Andezeno and Arignano, growers produce a rare, semi-sweet Pelaverga, locally called Cari, limited to an 8 tons per hectare yield. Today, just 9 verified producers sustain these low-yield vineyards, delivering dry, harmonic red wines alongside these highly localized sweet specialties.
