Candia Canavese
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In Piedmont, the lakeside enclave of Candia Canavese—home to 1,140 inhabitants within the Turin metropolitan area—nurtures 15 protected denominations. Chief among these local treasures is Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, a crisp white wine cultivated across a restricted territory of 36 municipalities. This specialized terroir also yields the Canavese DOC, spanning a zone of 104 municipalities, where native grapes thrive on glacial soils. These hills link Candia Canavese to historic Piedmontese viticulture, while also hosting regional staples like Toma Piemontese DOP.
