Borgiallo

Tucked into the alpine foothills of Turin's metropolitan territory, the tiny enclave of Borgiallo, home to fewer than 600 residents, fosters a surprisingly diverse agricultural output. Across its sloping terrain, 15 protected denominations overlap, shaped by the dramatic temperature swings of the Piedmont mountains. Here, vintners craft the distinctive Canavese DOC, a wine deeply tied to a localized zone of 104 municipalities. The rugged altitude also flavors alpine botanicals for Genepì del Piemonte IG, a spirit restricted to 284 regional communes, showcasing how this small community preserves intense mountain character in every bottle.
