Andrate

Perched sixty kilometers north of Turin in the rugged Canavese hills, the tiny enclave of Andrate channels its alpine terroir into 15 protected denominations. This steep landscape shapes the character of Canavese DOC, a wine shared with just 104 neighbouring municipalities, where local grapes thrive on morainic soils. The high altitude also yields the wild alpine botanicals essential for Genepì del Piemonte IG, a spirit restricted to a zone of 284 mountain localities. Here, rocky slopes and crisp air dictate a distinct alpine profile, proving how geology defines liquid identity.
