Macello

Macello, a small Piedmontese enclave of just 1,185 residents within Turin's metropolitan expanse, channels its flat, fertile terroir into 15 protected denominations. Here, the clay-rich soils of the Po valley's edge nurture the grapes for Pinerolese DOC, a distinctive alpine-fringe wine cultivated across a restricted zone of only 34 municipalities. This humid, temperate microclimate also facilitates the curing of Crudo di Cuneo DOP, a delicate prosciutto produced within a select area of 418 northern districts. In Macello, local agrarian heritage transforms these specific geographic conditions into renowned liquid and culinary landmarks.
