What grows here
Venaus
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Val Cenischia, a side valley of Val di Susa 57 kilometers west of Turin, lies Venaus. This distinct mountain setting, shaped by alpine influences, provides the ideal terroir for specific local treasures. Most notable is the "Marrone della Valle di Susa IGP," a prized chestnut whose cultivation zone spans just 28 municipalities. The unique combination of altitude, soil, and microclimate here imbues these chestnuts with their exceptional quality. Furthermore, this area contributes to the production of "Genepì del Piemonte IG," a traditional spirit, alongside 13 other protected food and wine denominations, totaling 15 unique offerings that reflect the municipality's profound connection to its land.
