What grows here
Romano Canavese
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Romano Canavese, situated in the hilly Morainic amphitheater within Turin's metropolitan limits, provides the perfect microclimate for exceptional viticulture. Here, 15 protected denominations overlap, highlighted by the local Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, a white wine cultivated across a restricted zone of just 36 municipalities. The Alpine soils also nurture the red and white varietals of the Canavese DOC, which spans 104 communes. This specific terroir, shaped by ancient glaciers, imparts a distinctive mineral intensity to the wines, making this small Piedmontese outpost a crucial node in Italy's alpine winemaking heritage.
