What grows here
Pertengo
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Within Piedmont's Vercelli province lies Pertengo, a small municipality of just 335 inhabitants whose distinctive regional character underpins 12 protected food and wine denominations. The unique landscape, at the edge of the Po Valley plains and influenced by alpine air, provides ideal conditions for products born here. Among them, Toma Piemontese DOP, a celebrated cheese, captures the essence of the local pastures. Pertengo's geographic positioning thus ensures the specific terroir vital for these traditional specialities to thrive.
