What grows here
Alpette
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on a Piedmontese plateau within the lower Locana valley, Alpette offers commanding views over the Orco and Soana valleys—a rugged terrain that profoundly shapes its distinctive culinary identity. This specific geography, marked by unique microclimates and traditional alpine farming, fosters the creation of 13 protected denominations here. Among these, the distinctive herbal spirit Genepì del Piemonte IG and the renowned cheese Toma Piemontese DOP are intimately tied to the altitude and specific flora of this precise corner of the Metropolitan City of Turin, embodying flavours born directly from its unique environment.
