What grows here
Roasio
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the northern hills of Vercelli, the dispersed municipality of Roasio divides its territory into five distinct hamlets centered around San Maurizio. This unique geographical layout, bridging pre-Alpine hills and plains, shapes its agricultural identity. Here, one verified local producer crafts the prestigious Bramaterra DOC, a mineral-rich red wine cultivated across just 7 municipalities. The shifting terrain also accommodates the Coste della Sesia DOC and the prized Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, demonstrating how Roasio's fractured, hamlet-based landscape yields highly specialized microclimates for both viticulture and historic cereal cultivation.
