Agliè

Agliè, a Piedmontese commune of under 2,600 residents located within Turin’s metropolitan territory, channels its distinct morainic clay soils into highly localized viticulture. Here, 2 verified producers craft the acclaimed Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, a white wine restricted to a zone of 36 municipalities, alongside the Canavese DOC. These represent the most prominent local varieties of the 15 protected denominations overlapping this specific area. The steep alpine breezes and glacial debris provide the vital acidity and mineral structure for these native grapes, making this small commune a crucial focal point for northern Italy’s specialized wine heritage.
