What grows here
Colleretto Castelnuovo
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Colleretto Castelnuovo, a quiet enclave of just 351 residents in the metropolitan area of Torino, bridges the rugged alpine slopes and fertile Piedmontese hills. This specific altitude and climate shape the 15 protected denominations overlapping its territory. Among these, the local Canavese DOC wine thrives on the steep, sun-exposed morainic soils, capturing the crisp alpine air. Higher up the rocky slopes, wild alpine herbs are gathered to distill the aromatic Genepì del Piemonte IG. These distinct microclimates allow this tiny alpine community to produce both vibrant hillside wines and intense mountain spirits.
