San Secondo di Pinerolo

Just beyond the industrial hum of the metropolitan area of Turin, the sunny foothills of San Secondo di Pinerolo nurture a microclimate uniquely suited to viticulture and fruit growing. This terroir underpins 16 protected denominations. Chief among them is the hyper-local Pinerolese DOC, a wine shared with just 34 neighboring municipalities, expressing the steep alpine slopes. Alongside these vineyards, the crisp alpine air ripens the crunchy Mela Rossa Cuneo IGP. Here, glacial soils and mountain breezes shape specialized agricultural products that define the edge of the western Alps.
