What grows here
San Martino Canavese
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Piedmontese hills near the Metropolitan City of Turin, the tiny commune of San Martino Canavese, home to under 800 residents, fosters 15 protected denominations. Its glacial moraine soils and alpine currents yield the crisp Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, a white wine limited to a zone of only 36 municipalities. The same unique terroir shapes the Canavese DOC and provides the ideal environment for aging Toma Piemontese DOP. Glacial debris and dramatic temperature swings concentrate sugars and acidity in the grapes, making this small enclave a highly specialized corner of Italian viticulture.
