Viù

Located in its namesake valley, one of the three Valli di Lanzo roughly 40 kilometers northwest of Torino, Viù's alpine terrain profoundly shapes its culinary identity. This Piemonte municipality contributes to an impressive 13 protected food and wine origins. The unique flora of these mountains is crucial for Genepì del Piemonte IG, an aromatic spirit born from Artemisia plants thriving in high altitudes. Meanwhile, the rich pastures sustain the herds whose milk is transformed into Toma Piemontese DOP cheese, a staple with deep regional roots. Viù is a testament to how specific mountain conditions yield distinctive products, reflecting its immediate environment.
